After building new kmod packages for the latest RHEL5 kernel I discovered that rpm is very unhappy with the naming convention. Yum refuses to install the package claiming that kmod-openafs-1.4.5-2.2.6.18_53.1.4.el5 is newer than kmod-openafs-1.4.5-1.2.6.18_53.1.13.el5. To install this package I have to use rpm with "--force".

Red Hat updates their kernels in the above fashion regularly so I anticipate this problem will continue to crop up in the not too distant future.

Before I create my own SRPM to work around this issue, are there plans to deal with this?

Thanks for your time,
