Something funny seems to be going on with fuse and the packages in the
repositories for SL 5.3.

The fuse package in the base repo (at least on the mirror I use) is
version 5:2.6.3-1.SL.  (That "5:" is an epoch number, right?)  In any
case, yum won't update to the package in the sl-security repo, which is
version 2.7.4-8.el5. 

Also, there are no kernel-module-fuse-2.6.18-164* packages in the
sl-security repository, which seems like an omission.

Can someone either help me understand what's going on, or fix the
sl-security repository with a "later" version of fuse and kernel modules
for the various kernel errata levels above 2.16.18-128-*?
