No it's not. But when I try to install it I get errors about metadata
file not matching checksum (this is AFTER reinstalling
atrpms-package-config:

---> Package nvidia-graphics9746-libs.i386 1:1.0_9746-85.fc5.at set to

This keeps on going until eventually it gives up trying to install
boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5:

Error: Missing Dependency: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5 is needed
by package nvidia-graphics9746-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5

Is this checksum problem an issue at my end or atrpms?


> Remove all the yum config and manually install atrpms-package-config.

OK - done that. I removed everything in yum.repos.d and now there's
new files in there. I tried getting rid of yum.conf as well but after
that it wouldn't let me run yum so I had to put it back.
