This was pointed out over on fedora-list

the lastest kernel src package is kernel-sourcecode. Although I can
understand what the package contains, neither apt or yum knew it was an
update to kernel-source. Is the naming switch from source to sourcecode
an Error or a new naming standard?

As I recall the source RPM is now built as noarch, and up2date was losing its mind trying to figure out how to update {i386,x86_64}.rpm to a noarch.rpm, so the name change was the easy way out.

Along the same lines, when I updated FC1 to FC2 on x86_64, I ended up with
Mozilla 1.4 i386 RPMs, from FC1, âoverlayedâ with Mozilla 1.6 x86_64 RPMs
from x86_64.  Messy.
