After having the up2date problem with the kernel, I attempted to do some 
additional installs.  I tried to install all outstanding updates but up2date 
chocked on that (backtrace).  So I tried something small -- a2ps, anaconda, 
anaconda-runtime and the four amanda-* packages.  Everthing downloaded and 
the install looked fine (at first) but the install progress bar did not 
complete even if the finish message appeared.  Clicked once to get the list 
of installed packages and up2date said everything was installed.  I then 
checked with rpm queries ... amanada was not only not updated but it was now 
removed from the system.

Caution ... do not believe up2date processing ... be sure to manually check 
all up2dating using up2date.
