I upgraded my kernel to 6.2.9, but found the current latest release of zfs (2.1.9) is not compatible, and fails to install completely or correctly. I don’t need the latest kernel (can wait until a compatible zfs release, anyway), so I uninstalled 6.2 and went back to 6.1. zfs was uninstalled as well - I don’t really understand the relationship but I guess zfs has a dependency on the kernel it was installed with.
But now, when I try to dnf install zfs
, it tries to reinstall kernel 6.2.9 as well (dnf output below). Is there a way I can tell dnf to install zfs with the 6.1 kernel I am on and not install a 6.2 kernel?
$ sudo dnf install zfs
