Right now when I run yum with the yum-versionlock installed and a

But nowhere does it tell me that versionlock is preventing the update
of bzip2. Only by running:
yum list bzip2
can I see that there is an update.
What we need is for yum-versionlock to report that the update is not
taking place because versionlock is preventing it.
If you bump the debug level to 5 (yum -d 5)
does this show up:
Excluding package <name> due to version lock
-sv

So it shows both the 'installed' and 'available' packages as excluded.
Maybe it could show something like this which gives us a little more
context:
...
Installed package bzip2 - 1.0.4-10.fc7.i386
Excluding package bzip2 - 1.0.4-11.fc7.i386 due to version lock
...
And this type of info is exactly what we need. Can these two lines be
made available in the future without the -d flag?
