Seriously?  It looks at what you've got installed, and not what is 
currently running?

egreshko at meimei rpmfusion]$ rpm -q -R -p 
kmod-nvidia-2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64-270.41.06-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/sbin/depmod
/sbin/depmod

kernel-uname-r = 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64

                           ^  equal, doesn't mean what is currently 
running....but matches any installed kernel?

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


That just seems like a disaster waiting to happen....
