ppp package probably has to be updated at the same time or before the kernel
install. rpm -Uvh the new ppp package, rpm -ivh the kernel package.

Ppp is already updated to version 2.4.1-7, and I can't find any newer
versions at rpmfind.net (at least not for my architecture).

To which ppp package should he upgrade? There hasn't been any ppp
upgrade for Psyche.
Is that ppp-2.4.1-7 the original one from Psyche or from a different
site? What files does it contain?
How is up2date called exactly in this scenario?

Please never upgrade a kernel. Always install the kernel.
Download the kernel rpm and do a
rpm -ivh kernel...
If it fails please post the exact error messages (yank and put them
here)!

I am attempting to upgrade the kernel via up2date, so this should not
even be a problem. But when I try to install it manually, I get the
following error message:
error: Failed dependencies:
ppp <= 2.3.15 conflicts with kernel-2.4.18-24.8.0
As I stated before, the version of ppp that I have is 2.4.1-7. Any
ideas?

Can you make an 'rpm -q ppp'? If nothing helps, you can also uninstall
ppp (and what depends on it), install the kernel, then reinstall the
erased packages.

rpm -q ppp returns ppp-2.4.1-7. I had actually thought about
uninstalling ppp, but I was wondering if there was another way.

well, I wanted to see if there is only one ppp installed on your system.
But the listing says it too.
I think it consensus that it should work the way you are doing it. I
would try three things:
1) rpm -V ppp
2) the before mentioned erase of "conflicting packages" (reinstall ppp and
friends is not such a hassle), install kernel, and reinstall
3) rebuild the rpm database. Maybe something there got corrupted.

Just for the curious, can you do a
rpm -q --whatprovides ppp
Anyway, if all version are save you should be able to do a
rpm -i --nodeps kernel
Rebuilding the database might help, too (did you do it yet? it does not
hurt!)
rpm --rebuilddb
If everything fails and you still are curious and not annoyed you might
want to post on the RedHat RPM list (see https://listman.redhat.com).
Otherwise remove ppp and install the kernel and ppp afterwards. You
might have to remove some additional packages, but they are pulled in
again by up2date ppp later on.

Do
rpm --query --provides ppp
rpm --query --whatprovides ppp
confirm that?

Here are the results:
# rpm -V ppp
S.5....T c /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
S.5....T c /etc/ppp/options

I tried rebuilding the rpm database, but up2date still gives me the same
error. I'll try #2 if nothing else works.

Are you sure? Using --nodeps makes me nervous for something as
important as the kernel. But if you think it's OK, maybe I'll try it.

There we are. You have to remove ppp-mppe-2.4.0-4 because the database
states that this package provides ppp-2.4.0!
Then everything should work.
If you need a new ppp with mppe support, you will find one at my webpage
(mentioned below): ppp-2.4.1-mppe7.i386.rpm

ppp-mppe is not a package from Red Hat and most likely the cause of
the confusion. I would recommend you erase it prior to installing
the new kernel. Keep us updated.

"rpm -q ppp" is something different, however. Try above with your third party ppp-mppe
package.
