Well, 2.6.12-5has a bunch of package on hppa, which are no more part of
2.6.12-6, the rest of the 2.6.12-6 packages (probably only the common header
package though) is still there.

If 2.6.12-5 had a bunch of packages, and 2.6.12-6 has them not anymore, then
there is a reason for this, don't you think ? Do you really find many packages
which make a bunch of packages dissapear by mistake ?
