No problem! My rpm database is in pretty good shape, though I had to 
intervene a few time by rpm -qa and going through the whole listing of 
packages that I have installed.

The new version worked as intended.  I checked that the packages like 
kernel-devel are not matched by kernel. I assume that kernel-smp and its 
devel patch would exact match also.

Thanks for the explanation. I am on i386 and did not know what you were 
trying to catch.

PS - Thanks for the \ to continue lines. There were no problems cutting 
and pasting the script into an editor and changing permissions.
