This update ensures that up2date does not resolve dependencies for the packages that are being uninstalled when the transaction does not involve a package removal only.
Description of problem:
rhel 4u7, up2date
1. register a rhel 4u7 server to satellite
2. create a snapshot profile
3. update serveral packages (in this case)
ash, audit, audit-libs, autofs, bash
4. rollback

I should not get a kernel pkg skip list for this particular set of pkgs. This happens w/ any rollback.

I am experiencing the same problem after updating my system from rhel4u6 to rhel4u8. It looks like the kernel is added to the "Remove list" by a dependency check of up2date.
