OK, this has been discussed on this mailing list previously so I could just
say ... check the archives. But searching is currently not working/disabled
and a manual search can be a lot of work.
You could also check bugzilla ... there is a report on this. You should
consider doing that in the future.
Anyway, here is the deal again ... /usr/bin/kill has been moved from the
coreutils package to the util-linux package. You current util-linux package
is 2.12pre-3 and the updated util-linux package in development/rawhide is
2.12-4. Unfortunately, rpm/up2date consider the new 2.12-4 package to be
"older" than the 2.12pre-3 package. To get around this you need to do the
rpm manually --
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage coreutils... util-linux...
You will need to download the two packages manually rather than using up2date.
You also need to update/install the two packages at the same time to get
around the switching of /usr/bin/kill from one package to the other.
