Description of problem:

As you can see on the following log:

# sudo yum update kernel kmod-nvidia-96xx

Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-x86_64 = 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 is needed by package
kmod-nvidia-96xx-2.6.23.1-49.fc8

On the system there are two kernels installed with the same version but
different rpm release number:
kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8
kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8

Removing kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 should not break the dependency with
kmod-nvidia.

Manual update with 'rpm' works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.7-1.fc8
