Maybe he will want to change "Provides: kernel = %{version}" to
"Provides: kernel = %{version}-%{release}".

Example :
[admin at one i386]$ rpm -q --provides -p kernel-2.6.10-1.741_FC3.i686.rpm
kernel = 2.6.10
kernel-drm = 4.3.0
kernel = 2.6.10-1.741_FC3

If a package provide "kernel = 2.6.10-1.741_FC3" it already provides
"kernel = 2.6.10".

[admin at one i386]$ rpm -q --requires -p kernel-module-unicorn-atm-0.8.7-mat.3_2.6.10_1.741_FC3.mat.1.i686.rpm
/bin/sh
/sbin/depmod
kernel = 2.6.10-1.741_FC3.mat.1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

This package requires "kernel = 2.6.10-1.741_FC3.mat.1" but all
kernel-2.6.10* from Fedora provide "kernel = 2.6.10" (that is "kernel =
2.6.10-*").
So any kernel-* from Fedora provide the requirement for
"kernel = 2.6.10-1.741_FC3.mat.1".


Every time a new kernel is released, I apply this little patch :
