Description Jean Michel Varvou 2021-08-20 15:50:54 CEST

Description of problem:

The installation of virtualbox 6.1.26 triggers the installation of kernel 5.13 under mageia 8 when using rpmdrake. The problem does not occur when installing via urpmi. The strange thing is that I don't see how rpmdrake is able to download the 5.13 kernel given the active repositories.

Thank you for the report, and apologies for the angst.

This is a duplicate of bugs 29169/29148, which indicate that rpmdrake is using Backports even when that is not active, and pulling in kernel from there.

> The problem does not occur when installing via urpmi
This is important to note, since users can easily avoid the issue.
