[SLE] Zen is messing with me again.

Zen is misbehaving again.

A couple of days I got another set of dozens of updates, and told it to
go ahead. After half an hour of sitting there, then doing many updates,
it started telling me it needed cd1 in the drive (which I don't even
have configured any more, since I have the dvd image and the cd's as
iso's on my hard drive.

I tried telling it to skip the the needed installs (kernel include
files), and it kept going to the end, apparently successfully. I
rebooted, and all looked good.

This morning the ball turned orange again, and it's again asking for
dozens of kernel updates. But now, the errors seem to say that I've
corrupted the system in some fashion. This is the list of errors I just
got from the software updater:

already installed.
Can't satisfy requirement kernel-source == 2.6.16.21-0.21 for

Is there anything I can do for this short of reinstalling?
