[ATrpms-users] Question about kmdl plugin

[Kevin J. Cummings]

OK, I have a (hopefully) silly question about the KMDL plugin.

This morning, I have the following updates available for my laptop:

> # yum check-update
> Loading "stablemirror" plugin
> Loading "installonlyn" plugin
> Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
> Loading "kmdl" plugin
> Setting up repositories
> stablemirror: the easily edited stablemirror file is "/var/cache/yum/stablemirrors"
> Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
> Reading repository metadata in from local files
> Excluding Packages from Fedora Core 6 - i386 - ATrpms
> Finished

> libmyth.i386                             0.20.1-158.fc6         atrpms          
> mencoder.i386                            1.0-0.73.20070612svn.l livna           
> mplayer.i386                             1.0-0.73.20070612svn.l livna           
> mythtv.i386                              0.20.1-158.fc6         atrpms          
> mythtv-frontend.i386                     0.20.1-158.fc6         atrpms          
> mythtv-themes.i386                       0.20.1-158.fc6         atrpms          

In addition, I have the 1.2.1-20 versions of ipw3845 installed already
(from ATrpms-testing):

> # rpm -qa ipw3945\* | sort
> ipw3945-1.2.1-20.fc6
> ipw3945d-1.7.22-4.at
> ipw3945-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2948_1.fc6.cubbi_suspend2-1.2.1-20.fc6
> ipw3945-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6-1.2.1-20.fc6
> ipw3945-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2952_1.fc6.cubbi_suspend2-1.2.1-20.fc6
> ipw3945-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6-1.2.1-20.fc6
> ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2-4.at

And if you can't tell, I have the following 4 kernels installed:

> # rpm -q kernel kernel-suspend2
> kernel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6
> kernel-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6
> kernel-suspend2-2.6.20-1.2948_1.fc6.cubbi_suspend2
> kernel-suspend2-2.6.20-1.2952_1.fc6.cubbi_suspend2

So, I do the yum update (and in case it matters, ATrpms-testing is
disabled by default), so WHY does it try and install the 1.2.0-18.3
versions of ipw3945-kmdl??????
