Well, rpmupdate is doing exactly what I expected, but those
dependencies are very odd. The kernel RPM should not be < 2.2
(possibly <= 2.2, depending on how comparisons are done), and neither
the raidtools nor the initscripts RPM appear to have those
dependencies in the redhat-6.2 RPMs in the athena or dev cells.
Please send the output of:
rpm -q initscripts
rpm -q --requires initscripts
rpm -q raidtools
rpm -q --requires raidtools
