I suspect Dave has the ticket. There are a couple packages
that have changed name or suffix (386 to noarch).
For example here is a pair.
kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358.i386.hdr
kernel-sourcecode-2.6.6-1.435.2.3.noarch.hdr
up2date has command line options like: --showall --show-orphans
that might make the discovery of the name changes visible.
To clear things up for the source package you must do something like:
up2date install kernel-sourcecode
The rules in the new RPM will do the right thing with the old package.
