yum strange behaviour

[François Patte]

Bonjour,

I wanted to install alsa, so : "yum install *alsa*"

fetch the headers.... solving dependencies....

unable to install: /lib/modules/xxx.2179nptlxxx  is missing!!!

I never had any kernel 2179nptl!!!

Why yum doesn't test which is the running kernel whenever it has some modules to
install? I think that I had to put the "*" because there so many packages with
alsa in their names.

Thank you
