[PlanetCCRMA] Messed up kernel upgrade

A while back, I mistakenly performed a dist-upgrade when there was a new
kernel. This seems to have messed my installation up, and I can't seem
to sort it out (although everything still works). The main symptom is
that I get errors about dependencies if I use dist-upgrade now:

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  alsa-kernel-2.4.20-20.1.caps.rh90: Depends: kernel-version (=
2.4.20-20.1.caps.rh90)
                                     Depends: kernel-version-arch (=
2.4.20-20.1.caps.rh90-i686)

                                Depends: kernel-version (=

  planetccrma-core: Depends: kernel-version-arch (=

I tried to fix things by using:

apt-get -o RPM::Install-Options::=-oldpackage install planetccrma-core

but this produces:

I can't seem to find any information on the site about dealing with
kernel upgrades, although I thought there was some at the time.

Sorry to dump this problem on people - I should have been more careful.
But I would appreciate some help in getting the kernel up-to-date. I
usually use the low latency kernel, by the way.
