I am having the opposite problem.

This morning's yum update upgraded the kernel despite it has broken
deps:

# rpm -q --requires kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 | grep mkinitrd
mkinitrd >= 6.0.9-7.1
# rpm -q mkinitrd
mkinitrd-6.0.9-5

=> yum should have refused to update the kernel package, because the
deps can't be satisfied:

# yum provides mkinitrd
...
mkinitrd.i386                            6.0.9-5
fedora          
Matched from:
mkinitrd
...
mkinitrd.i386                            6.0.9-5
installed       
Matched from:
Provides-match: mkinitrd

... something is very much in limbo in yum-land :)

apt correctly refuses to upgrade:
# apt-get upgrade
...
kernel#2.6.21-1.3228.fc7: PreDepends: mkinitrd (>= 6.0.9-7.1)
