Hi, For some reason, the updated SL5 x86_64 fuse kernel module kernel-module-fuse-2.6.18-8.1.6.el5-2.6.3-1.SL.x86_64 does not provide the feature "kernel-module-fuse" as required by the fuse package. Trying to remove the old 2.6.18-8.1.4 kernel and modules therefore wants to remove fuse and fuse-sshfs. Hmm, could it be because fuse requires "kernel-module-fuse >= 5:2.6.3-1.el5", and the new kernel-module-fuse package provides "5:2.6.3-1.SL", whereas the old one provided "5:2.6.3-1.sl5" ( SL < el5 < sl5 )?
