Is there a workaround for the following? On a x86_64 Fedora 10
workstation with the updates-testing repo enabled, I am finding that
'yum update' periodically fails. These are of the form...

Error Summary
It appears that when a new kernel in the updates repo appears, yum tries to update to it
despite the fact that the update-testing repo contains a new series of kernels (2.6.27.2.72
vs 2.6.29.x). Isn't this a flaw in yum? Shouldn't it realize that the updates-testing repo's
kernel has provided a newer version and not attempt to install the older on from the updates
repo at all?
