up2date does not resolve packets that are marked in the skiplist

Description of Problem: up2date glibc-devel ENTER w/o kernel-headers installed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date2.7.61-7.x.2 kernel-headers 2.4.9e.i3 gcc2.96 How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: to come across this we did up2date -f kernel-headers and then up2date gcc prior to this glibc-devel came back with the error message that and kernel-headers are required and it can not resolve packet interdependencies, which it shouln't have, or it should have said that the *kernel is marked in the skiplist and it can not resolve interdependencies because of this. Expected Results: resolve dependencies even kernel-headers are in skiplist, they need to be installed! Additional Information:
Things on the skiplist are not installed. Even when they are deps (especially when they are deps...) That said, the error messages should indicate why the package wasn't available. I belive this error reporting is more verbose in current versions.
