Indeed, it was supposed to be there since a while.

Hmm. For me yum happily installs one , then removes another after 
issueing yum install kernel-module-STHG-x.y-v.r,
although it behaves the expected way when doing kernel update.

Actually it does not happen (with rpm 4.3.3, haven;t tried older versions):

yum selects both

kernel-module-STHG-x.y-v.1

and

kernel-module-STHG-x.y-v.2

then .1 is replaced by .2 in the transaction by the rpm
backend

See the transaction log in the attachment (this is yum
2.4.1 with the patch I've sent yesterday)

Of course this would need some more testing before
eventually deploying ....


Cheers
