Description of problem:
When I tried to upgrade from the severn 2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl kernel to a
2.6 kernel, up2date failed with a traceback.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-3.9.10-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure there are no 2.6 kernels already installed (may not be necessary,
but maybe it is).
2. Add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources:
yum 2.6testkernels http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/
3. Run "up2date -ui". (This assumes all other updates from your other existing
channels have already been installed.) UPDATE: Just "up2date kernel" also works.
4. Watch up2date download and install kernel (and possibly kernel-source,) then
explode near the end.
    

Actual Results:
Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...

Expected Results:  I expected successful installation of the kernel, as I have
always seen in the past.

Additional info:

The same traceback also happens when I use a Current (RHN protocol) server
instead of arjanv's yum repository.
