Details

Description:
Package depends only on kernel26. But the installed modules goes actually in /lib/modules/2.6.27
So the depend should respect the kernel version, ex.:
kernel26>=2.6.27 kernel26<2.6.28
to avoid that this package could be installed without the necessary kernel.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
open-vm-tools-modules 2008.10.10-1
* config and/or log files etc.
could not prepare transaction
kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/modules.alias exists in filesystem
kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/modules.ccwmap exists in filesystem

This error result cause a user installed open-vm-tools-modules after the installation. When he then run a pacman -Syu this error occours during kernel upgrade.

This task depends upon
