Hi
I had an update to the 5.17.5 kernel ,on my Fedora 35 system, this
morning but there was no corresponding update to the kernel-headers
package. As such I'm unable to rebuild the VMWare modules for VMWare
Workstation. Do I just need to wait until the next mirror sync or is
this not available for some other reason?
If there was no update to the kernel-headers package, it means that the
kernel api did not change, so you can use the older headers package so
compile with the newer kernel. As Doug said, even though a compile
would succeed, it might be that the vmware modules are being too
particular and requiring complete synchronization.
