Something funny seems to be going on with fuse and the packages in the
repositories for SL 5.3.
The fuse package in the base repo (at least on the mirror I use) is
version 5:2.6.3-1.SL. (That "5:" is an epoch number, right?) In any
case, yum won't update to the package in the sl-security repo, which is
version 2.7.4-8.el5.
Also, there are no kernel-module-fuse-2.6.18-164* packages in the
sl-security repository, which seems like an omission.
Can someone either help me understand what's going on, or fix the
sl-security repository with a "later" version of fuse and kernel modules
for the various kernel errata levels above 2.16.18-128-*?

First off, the kernel module.
That is now in the kernel so there is no need for kernel-module rpm's.
As for the epoch number on our version of fuse. That was introduced by
Paul Rombouts back in 2006. I am not sure why, but since this same rpm
was also used for fedora, and it mentions livna, I am suspecting that
some other repository (livna, EPEL, dag, I don't know) already had an
epoch in it.
