Yes, the kernel-source.rpm comes from my repo, but the localpackage is in:

/var/cache/yum/R0_os11.1/packages/kernel-source-2.6.27.25-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm

so its the package which I downloaded from my repo.
(The md5sum for the localpackage and the repo are the same, I checked that)

And regardless of the critical warning, the package is installed.
A simple rpm -U /var/cache/.../kernel-source.rpm does not show db errors
and doing a
rpm -U http://reposerver/tmp/kernel-source-2.6.27.25-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm
works too.
The only thing which I currently know, is this critical warning with
"yum udpate" and if I update "more" rpms, the db error.
