[Yum] Some issues/questions regarding maintaining a local yum repository.

[Chris Geddings]

You wouldn't by some chance be storing your [updates] and [base] in
seperate config
files would you?

Indeed, yum should (and generally does) consult all the available
repositories when
resolving dependancies.  So, something odd must be going on.

Do your repositories have the "headers" directories in place?  Have
the repositories
had yum-arch run against them?
