  download and install a full, useless kernel package to satisfy tcpdump
  dependencies

+Summary: A placeholder RPM that provides kernel and kernel-drm

+Group: System Environment/Kernel
+Provides: kernel = %{version}
+Provides: kernel-drm = 4.3.0

+%description vserver
+VServers do not require and cannot use kernels, but some RPMs have
+implicit or explicit dependencies on the "kernel" package
+(e.g. tcpdump). This package installs no files but provides the
+necessary dependencies to make rpm and yum happy.
