The kernel .src.rpm is quite a messy one, full of patches. OTOH, if you
ever wondered what patches redhat have added, this is the place to look

'rpm -F' is the same as 'rpm -U' except that it will only upgrade
existing packages. So if you didn't have a previous verision of that
package already installed, the command will do nothing for you.
