Hi Chris,
Please send the whole error.  If it is too long, just send it to me.

versionfix shouldn't have anything to do with this because it take a set list 
of rpm package names, and replaces them with another set list of package names. 
  ndiswrapper wasn't on the list in any form.

Also, with the numbering, 1.41-<anything> is always considered newer than 
1.5-<anything> unless there was an epoch involved.

Anyway, send me your full yum output, including the yum command and I'll look 
at it.
