yum error during FC2 -> FC3 upgrade

[Zed Lopez <zed.lopez@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I posted about this last week. Following the directions here:
http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Upgrading_Red_Hat_Linux_with_yum.html
, on yum upgrade, I get (after a bunch of other Package... set to be
updated messages):

I'd been running an old, pre-FC2 kernel, which someone helpfully
pointed out, but I'm getting the same problem now, running 
2.6.8-1.521. Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks.
