RPM annoyances with 9.

Given that up2date is returning RPMs with invalid GPG keys, I decided to
go grab the RPMs from a university's FTP site.  My first priority was to
get the kernel updated:

root@xxxxxxxx:/home/tliebeck>ls kernel-*
kernel-2.4.20-9.athlon.rpm  kernel-source-2.4.20-9.i386.rpm
root@xxxxxxxx:/home/tliebeck>rpm -Uvh kernel-*.rpm --test
Preparing...                ###########################################
[100%]
root@xxxxxxxx:/home/tliebeck>rpm -Uvh kernel-*.rpm
Preparing...                ###########################################
[100%]
   1:kernel-source          ###########################################
[ 50%]

After 5 minutes of waiting...I kill -9'ed it, deleted the
/var/lib/rpm/__db* files, did an rpm --rebuilddb, rpm -e kernel-source.

Then upgraded the main kernel RPM and reinstalled the source.  It
appears to have worked, I'll try rebooting it in a minute.

I'm getting really annoyed with 9.
