Thanks for your response.  My lesson is to not change kernel levels
until there at least two versions through.  Bugzilla is filled with
reports similar and not similar to mine.  From what I can see 2141 is
not going to help.  This will be a waiting game.

The real answer is for Smart to keep RPMS after downloading.  Then I can
revert without having the RPMs in the repo.  I miss that from yum/apt.

Thanks for all you do Axel.
