kernel-headers and kernel-tools-libs-devel both contain /usr/include/ynl/devlink-user.h

    • Nov 11 - Nov 24, 2026

      When building kernel RPMs with YNL support enabled, there is a file conflict between two packages:

      • kernel-headers
      • kernel-tools-libs-devel

      Both packages claim ownership of all YNL-generated header files in /usr/include/ynl/ (including devlink-user.h)

      See: osci.installability downgrade

      The issue is in redhat/kernel.spec.template where the %files sections for both packages overlap:

      `kernel-headers` (lines 3944-3947)

      ```
      %if %

      {with_headers}
      %files headers
      /usr/include/*
      %exclude %{_includedir}/cpufreq.h
      %endif
      ```

      `kernel-tools-libs-devel` (lines 4089-4099)

      ```
      %files -n %{package_name}-tools-libs-devel
      %ifarch %{cpupowerarchs}
      %{_libdir}/libcpupower.so
      %{_includedir}/cpufreq.h
      %{_includedir}/cpuidle.h
      %{_includedir}/powercap.h
      %endif
      %if %{with_ynl}
      %{_libdir}/libynl*
      %{_includedir}/ynl
      %endif
      ```

      Proposed Solution

      Exclude the ynl directory from kernel-headers package since it's already explicitly included in kernel-tools-libs-devel:

      ```
      %if %{with_headers}

      %files headers
      /usr/include/*
      %exclude %{_includedir}/cpufreq.h
      +%exclude %{_includedir}/ynl
      %endif
      ```
