Bug 61420

Description of problem:
I got rpm database errors when I upgraded my kernel from 2.4.7.10 to 2.4.9.31 
and modutils to modutils-2.4.13-0.7.1 as part of this work. 

rpm -q kernel still gives the old kernel version - 2.4.7.10. rpm -qa | grep 
kernel lists the old kernel packages but not the new one. But the new kernel 
boots successfully, has been added to /etc/grub.conf and is listed by uname -a.

Initially, rpm -qa | grep kernel gave an error (below) but I have reinstalled 
the same version of rpm and rebuilt the database and I no longer get this 
error. But rpm still does not list the new kernel version.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.rpm -q kernel 
2.rpm -qa | grep kernel 
3.uname -a 
	

Actual Results:  1. lists old kernel revision only 
2. lists only old kernel versions
3. lists new kernel version

Expected Results:  1. The new kernel should be listed as well as the old one
2. All kernel packages, both new and old versions, should be listed
3. uname -a should list the running kernel version (it does)
