ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve

[p.glassenbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I had an error doing a yum update (using version yum-3.2.25-1.fc12 )

 I got this error to report at the address below, but I couldn't find a link to add it there.
 (I didn't spend too long trying though)

 yum --noplugins update
 ...long list of downloads (including the newer yum)
 ...then..

 Complete!

 To fix it I do the following
 yum erase kmod-nvidia-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64-190.53-1.fc12.1.x86_64
 kmod-nvidia-2.6.31.12-174.2.19.fc12.x86_64-190.53-1.fc12.4.x86_64

 which deletes two old version of the nvidia driver.
 then run a yum update again and it all works.

At the suggestion of Seth, I have run
      > The issue is that you have kernel modules installed and you're removing

      > Here's something you can test for me, though:

I have the workaround... but mention this in case something
needs fixing...I have quite a few machines in this state, so
I can test anything people suggest..

Cheers
