Agreed.

I failed to mention that I'm using 1.95 on RH9 (rpm-4.2-0.69) and 1.0 on
RH8 (rpm-4.1-9 from JBJ's testing area).  Dunno if this makes a
difference.

Makes sense, but IMO yum 1.0 needs to be more consistent.  As said, yum
check-update lists the package as something that could be updated, but
yum install and yum update refuse to actually update it.

[ And BTW Seth; a list copy of replies is fine with me, I don't need
them twice if this is no problem to you, thanks :) ]
