Dear list users,

below is the list of all kernels and kmdl packages on my box:

Installing packages (2):
  kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 at x86_64
  ndiswrapper-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5xen-1.27-5.fc5.at at x86_64
...

Please note that first 7 upgrading packages are not related [I think] to 
my question, but may be there hidden dependency..?
My question is: why upgrading   ndiswrapper-1.27-5.fc5.at at x86_64 
triggers the installation of new kernel   
kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 at x86_64 and kmdl module  
ndiswrapper-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5xen-1.27-5.fc5.at at x86_64 but not 
ndiswrapper-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2200_2.fc5.cubbi_suspend2 ?

I understand that ndiswrapper-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2200_2.fc5.cubbi_suspend2 
may not be available at the time of the anacron job, but why new xen 
kernel is suggested for installation?
Is it a packaging error? Or may be I'm missing something?

Many thanks in advance,
Alex
