The rhn-applet is showing me that kernel-doc can be upgraded from 2.6.5-1.538 to 2.6.6-1.435.2.3, but launching up2date then decides there's nothing to upgrade. 'yum update' similarly concludes that there is nothing to upgrade. A search of the archives shows someone with a similar problem. The two suggestions threre were to to delete then 'yum install', or to 'yum upgrade'; neither of these has worked for me. Here's some verbose output, if it's of any interest.
