Yeah, exactly.  Very odd.  The only way adding --newest would fail and
not using --newest would work is if there were multiple kernel packages
on the RC2 DVD media.  Sure enough ...

        -rw-r--r--. 2 root   101737 22268072 2010-02-20
        16:24 /media/Packages/kernel-2.6.33-0.46.rc8.git1.fc13.x86_64.rpm
        -rw-r--r--. 2 100351 101737 22185504 2010-02-22
        23:01 /media/Packages/kernel-2.6.33-0.51.rc8.git6.fc13.x86_64.rpm

Closer inspection shows ..

        $ rpm -qp --provides kernel-2.6.33-0.46.rc8.git1.fc13.x86_64.rpm
        | grep kernel-drm-nouveau
        
        kernel-drm-nouveau = 15
        
        $ rpm -qp --provides kernel-2.6.33-0.51.rc8.git6.fc13.x86_64.rpm
        | grep kernel-drm-nouveau
        kernel-drm-nouveau = 16
        
Summary: by adding --newest, it chooses the .51 (newer) kernel above
which does not satisfy the xorg-x11-drv-nouveau kernel-drm-nouveau =
0:15 dependency.

I'm guessing kernel-2.6.33-0.46 was pulled into the DVD compose to
satisfy dependencies of xorg-x11-drv-nouveau, otherwise it doesn't make
sense to have two of the same kernel packages on the media (kernel and
kernel-PAE are different).

Should  the test case [1] always use --newest since that seems to more
closely mirror yum behavior during installation?

Thanks,
James
