dependency hell, version 2,197,386.1

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

How can I go about convincing yum to update the iptables install on my
old firewall box when it reports this:

[root at gene etc]# yum update iptables
package iptables needs kernel that has been excluded
package iptables needs kernel that has been excluded

The kernel is in fact a 2.4.29, obviously new enough but locally built.

Is this a case where the --nodeps --force options to rpm can be used?

Cheers, Gene
