Failure to detect dependency...whose responsible?

Hi,

I've enabled the rpmfusion repos and have just tried to do "yum install 
kmod-nvidia".

It offered to install the following....

Installing:
  kmod-nvidia
Installing for dependencies:
  kmod-nvidia-2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64
  nvidia-settings
  nvidia-xconfig
  xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
  xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs

I don't think that is correct since

rpm -q -R -p 
kmod-nvidia-2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64-270.41.06-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm

returns

/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/sbin/depmod
/sbin/depmod
kernel-uname-r = 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64
nvidia-kmod-common >= 1:270.41.06
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1

and uname -r returns

2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64

So, I think it should have failed with a dependency error, yes?

Would this be considered a bug in yum?
