Hi,

I've got a fully-updated install of WBEL 3.0, but if I run up2date (yum
pointing to mirror at ftp://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu), I get the
following table:

Package Name       Version            Old Version       Arch
------------------------------------------------------------
kernel             2.4.21-4.0.2.EL    2.4.21-4.0.2.EL   i686
kernel-smp         2.4.21-4.0.2.EL    2.4.21-4.0.2.EL   i686

If I try to install anyway, a popup box informs me

Test install failed because of package conflicts:
package kernel-smp-2.4.21-4.0.2.EL is already installed
package kernel-2.4.21-4.0.2.EL is already installed

Has anyone else seen this, or know of a way to get up2date to
recognise that it's already installed these packages?

Cheers,
Andy Wallace
