That would not fix his problem. Antonio knows a specific set of
packages exits; however, the repository used by yum lagged behind his
awareness. The fix is actually simple: 1) Do not use a random miror
via the mirrorlist. 2) Select a more responsive [in terms of syncing]
mirror. [One can use the fastestmirror plugin, but I prefer selecting
my own from http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/7/ ]
And/or 3) Use multiple mirrors for updates.
