"Failed to merge" in this context means a package was available in FC6, 
and is not in F7, without going to the net.

FC6 DVD has qt-devel-docs which is not on the F7 DVD.

I understand now. I was under the impression that "merge" meant I could 
do away with hitting externals in KS scripts, etc. Now I know better.

In my case I have to rsync a local repo as all updates are blocked. I'll 
make a local "Everything" repo and that will take care of it.
