I made entries of kdepim-3.5.8-10 and kdepim-libs-3.5.8-10. Can I just put a * on the end to cover the rest? Just did, works. Also, I manually enabled the [updates-source] entry to be enabled=1, but its not available in the yumex repo view. What does it take to actually enable that repo? BTW, I have edited that to enable it at least 4 times, but everytime I go back and check a day or so later, its enabled=0 again, but is sticking at a 1 now. And yumex, after 3 restarts is not responding to the setting. I also have the adobe entry in yum.repos.d.
