[Etherlab-users] change in kernel links for ethercat-kmp-rt?

[Merkel, Amos]

Hi everyone,

I just updated my system (openSUSE 15.4, etherlab from the open build service) and noted that the new ethercat-kmp-rt package links against the kernel-rt-5.3.18 from the main repository. When I set up my system, they linked against kernel-rt from the sle repository, which is a much higher version (currently 5.14.21).

Switching back to the 5.3.18 kernel is difficult (maybe impossible? I didn't try so far) as it conflicts with the current util-linux package. Leaving the system as it is is not possible, as the new ethercat package is now incompatible with the outdated ethercat kernel module for my 5.14.21 kernel.

Does anybody have a solution which does not include installing a new system or compiling everything by hand? Was this change in the kernel links intentional? From a system admin perspective this is quite annoying, as an update will now brake any previous system.

Regards,
Amos
