After your update, have you rebooted into your new kernel (do you have a
new kernel?) and maybe you have too many kernels still installed and
need to remove the last few? (as in, there is a lower versioned kernel
installed that is causing your header rpm to want to be replaced again).
Just saying that could be part of the reason, depending on if you
updated originally from a previous Fedora Core version from before.
no, the problem has nothing to do with what kernel you're running.
pkg_y says:
I obsolete pkg_x
pkg_x says:
I obsolete pkg_y
Yum looks through on each update run and says:
I have pkg_y, does anything obsolete it?
at which point pkg_x is installed to obsolete pkg_y
Then the next time yum update is run it says:
I have pkg_x, does anything obsolete it?
at which point pkg_y is installed to obsolete pkg_x
And over and over and over again.
Does that make explanation clear it up?
