I just made it :-)


It is a hack from RedHats srpm.  I just checked the spec file. I wonder 
why they have spamassassin listed:

%{expand: %%define kernel_conflicts  ppp <= 2.3.15, pcmcia-cs <= 
3.1.20, isdn4k-utils <= 3.0, mount < 2.10r-5, nfs-utils < 0.3.1, cipe < 
1.4.5, tux < 2.1.0, kudzu <= 0.92, e2fsprogs < 1.22, initscripts < 
6.41, dev < 3.2-7, iptables < 1.2.5-3, bcm5820 < 1.81, nvidia-rh72 <= 
1.0, oprofile < 0.4, SysVinit < 2.84-5, pam < 0.75-48, vixie-cron < 
3.0.1-69, privoxy < 3.0.0-8, spamassassin < 2.44-4.8.x,  cups < 
1.1.17-13}

Doesn't matter - I'll just make the newer 2.63. That should kill that 
then.
Is there a reason why yum doesn't tell what the conflict is? Output 
cluttering?
