Can't get revisor to give me a separate yum log at the moment, but I
managed to get yum into high-debug mode. So the messages are mixed
between revisor and yum, but it seems to make sense:

   http://dev.laptop.org/~martin/revisoryum.log.bz2

It definitely sees 2.8-8, and I can't spot anything that calls
glibc-2.8-3 *except* that there's a mention of it being included "from
Groups" --

Including glibc

and later 2.8-3 wants the matching glibc-common, which *is* in the
repo. However, yum doesn't like it and it doesn't settle for the 2.8-8
set.

Do the logs make sense to you?

Also -- I did add glibc and glibc-common explicitly to the kickstart
file, but it didn't make a difference.

cheers,
