Following the instructions at
http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/firmware#Putting_it_all_together
I am unable to update the bios on a Precision T5400(n) running Fedora
11. It is currently running A02.

The step which fails is:
yum -y install $(bootstrap_firmware)

I get a message stating that the firmware requires firmware-addon-dell
>= 2.0, however that version doesn't seem to be available yet from the
repo. I have done a yum update to get the latest version of everything,
currently:

dell-firmware-repository-1-4.noarch
firmware-addon-dell-1.4.8-2.fc11.2.x86_64

I've attached a full log of the output from yum.
