I'm got a couple of them and they both say nothing
requires them:
[root@zooty /]# rpm -q -a | fgrep kernel-debug
kernel-debug-devel-3.18.3-201.fc21.x86_64
kernel-debug-devel-3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64
[root@zooty /]# rpm -qv --whatrequires kernel-debug-devel-3.18.3-201.fc21.x86_64
no package requires kernel-debug-devel-3.18.3-201.fc21.x86_64
[root@zooty /]# rpm -qv --whatrequires kernel-debug-devel-3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64
no package requires kernel-debug-devel-3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64
Yet, if I erase it, it comes back on the next update.
It certainly looks like it provides headers for building
modules for debug kernels, but I have no debug kernels
installed so it becomes very mysterious. Perhaps another
mysterious side effect from splitting kernel into
kernel-core and modules separately?
Do you have dkms installed?
I have F21 in a Vbox VM and, if memory serves me, it was pulled in when I installed dkms
to have the Vbox video modules rebuilt when a new kernel was installed. As a matter of
fact, I see this in my yum.log....
