Description of problem: Running the nvidia driver requires the kernel-develop packages to be installed and maintained (updated). However, at an kernel update, the kernel-server and kernel-server-latest get the updates, but the kernel-server-develop and kernel-server-develop-latest are not in the automatically presented updates. I had to first run the updates as presented, and then manually select the kernel-server-develop and kernel-server-develop-latest new versions. I've a number of times been told that having the kernel-server-develop-latest installed would automatically trigger the updates to new versions, but that's not happening. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): As example, the updates form kernel 4.14.119 to 4.14.121 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure kernel packages kernel-server, kernel-server-latest, kernel-server-develop and kernel-server-develop-latest are installed for 4.14.119 2.Let the updates for 4.14.121 run as they are presented by the mageia updates. Note that only the kernel-server and kernel-server-latest are updated 3.Go to MCC - Software - Install and remove software and not that the kernel-server-develop and kernel-server-develop-latest are listed as available packages.
At some point the kernel-server-devel-latest has been un-installed. (probably after you removed backport kernels (if you tested them)) That will stop the devel package to get pulled in. Just install kernel-desktop-devel-latest again and it will work again...

Backport kernels have never been involved, this happens on my "production" desktop, not one of my testing laptops. And plse read above decription again: I checked that kernel-server-devel-latest for 4.14.119 was installed before the updates were applied. Besides that, it is already at least the fourth time this is happening. And each and very time, I wondered why the nvidia driver did not work after an update, and each avery time I had to manually install the proper kernel-server-develop and kernel-server-develop-latest. kernel-desktop-devel-latest has nothing to do with this.
Sorry, I read too fast, and then wrote *desktop* instead of *server* I dont see why it should happend since all kernel packages gets uploaded at the same time (I dont argue it does not, I just wonder where it would/could/will/does fail)

After running the last updates (triggered from mga-applet kernel-server 4.14.127 kernel-server-latest not installed anymore, and I can assure you I didn't do it manually. kernel-server-develop 4.14.121 kernel-server-develop-latest 4.14.121
Sorry, overlooked one item: kernel-server-latest was 4.14.106, thus hasn't been updated since ....., although I installed all intermediate kernel updates

Just did the routine update from mga-applet for a.o. kernel-server-4.14.131. Result: kernel-server-devel-4.14.131 is not installed and kernel-server-devel-latest is not updated. Leaving system at this state for a while, so I can answer questions on the current state.
Are you using a specific mirror or are you using the mirror list?, if the last maybe you get the lottery of outdated mirrors bug#23588
I use the mirrorlist, but I reject definitely the "lottery". All my updates of kernel-desktop on my laptops are always OK, the kernel-server fails consistenly on each update. BTW: I know the Belgian mirror is for Core Update Testing always one day behind - can be expected from a mirror, but I cann't remember ever seeing it later than that, and I suspect that the mirror update happens at night.

Ok, that shows you have backports enabled with the 4.18.* -latest packages. And since you then will have kernel-server-devel-latest-4.18.20-1.mga6.x86_64.rpm installed, it will never try to update 4.14. series
basically, disable backports, then: urpme kernel-server-devel-latest && urpmi kernel-server-devel-latest And that should now pull in the latest 4.14 series devel bits
You're right about the backports being enabled (why did I do that ???), but none of the 4.18 stuff was installed. I'll double check at the next kernel update.
(In reply to Herman Viaene from comment #15) > You're right about the backports being enabled (why did I do that ???), but > none of the 4.18 stuff was installed. > I'll double check at the next kernel update. ok, so maybe your rpm database is messed up. try: disable backports urpme kernel-server-devel-latest rpm --rebuilddb urpmi kernel-server-devel-latest What kernel-desktop-devel-* packages gets installed ?
I have the right ones now.
Hi, thanks for reporting this bug. We are sorry, but we no longer maintains this version of Mageia. Please upgrade to the latest version and reopen this bug against that version if this bug exists there. As a result we are setting this bug to CLOSED:OLD
