Is that correct? the comps rpm is installed by anaconda. iirc it's there in %post. that's the goal - if hdlist[2] is installed then hopefully yum can find it and use the headers out of there instead. it'd be nice to decrease load from headers being retrieved, at least for a while. it's intended as a hold over until the metadata work makes the header getting go away. -sv
