I'm not sure about the Koji repo, but the release version scheme on
the XO is breaking yum when it comes to vanilla Fedora packages,
whiich is a shame.

Workaround - with the example of installing lsof and gdb from the
vanilla fedora repo:

 - replace $releasever with 9 in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
 - run yum --disablerepo=olpc_devel --enablerepo=fedora install lsof gdb

Disabling olpc_devel only makes sense als long as the koji repo is down.

Time to split "fedorareleasever" from "olpcreleasever"? They are 2
different beasts...

cheers,
