I got that from someone's previous posting to the list.
Also, I have configured /etc/yum.conf as advised here.

To avoid a very long message, I will refrain from posting my rpmpkgs,
but since installing Severn, I have all the latest updates from rawhide

P.S. I *have* updated my demo account cert as per instructions HERE:
