Avoided how?  update -u -f still won't update kernel-sourcecode even
though it obsoletes kernel-source.  I don't see that there's an
equivalent of RHN's `Obsoletes' list in yum header.info, and if
up2date doesn't find a reason to download the kernel-sourcecode hdr
file, it won't even know there's something that obsoletes
kernel-source.  Am I missing anything?
