[Bug translator/11564] New: gah not the same version for kernel-devel

[mjw at redhat dot com]

Sometimes you have mismatched versions of the kernel, kernel-devel and/or
kernel-debuginfo packages installed. It would be nice if like with missing
debuginfo packages stap would give a hint which package would provide any
missing files.

e.g. Instead of the following error message:
  Checking /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64/build/.config failed : no such
file or directory
  Ensure kernel development headers & makefiles are installed

Hmmm, I have kernel-devel installed, what is up with that?

  rpm -q kernel kernel-devel kernel-debuginfo :
  kernel-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64
  kernel-debuginfo-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64
  kernel-devel-2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64

gah not the same version for kernel-devel did not see that before :/

stap instead said (like when stap detect missing debuginfo packages):

Missing kernel-devel package, use: yum install kernel-devel-2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64
