Mergerepos is only used for external repository support, not for 
repositories internal to koji.

The only build-targets in the main koji instance that use mergerepos are 
the epel build-targets.

mergerepos or yum.packages does not have a problem with these packages, 
but it does have a problem with packages (apparently) that provide 
font(lang=some), where "some" is characters I don't know what they are.

My blocked packages now include:

3 	apanov-edrip-fonts
4 	apanov-heuristica-fonts
5 	baekmuk-ttf-fonts
6 	hanazono-fonts
13 	ipa-gothic-fonts
7 	ipa-mincho-fonts
8 	ipa-pgothic-fonts
9 	ipa-pmincho-fonts
10 	sazanami-fonts
16 	un-core-fonts
15 	un-core-gungseo-fonts
11 	vlgothic-fonts
12 	wqy-zenhei-fonts

And so they are not causing mergerepos to traceback anymore.
