mkinitrd-6.0.9-6 was busted, so Peter built a 6.0.9-7.1
that went out to updates-testing today.
The latest kernel has a Prereq: on ver 6.0.9-7.1
So why did this happen...

No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion
So, yum found the prereq, didn't complain that it wasn't available,
and proceeded to install the kernel, even though the prereq wasn't installed.
What's going on ?
