This didn't work so well.  yum is still trying to replace xdvik from
Rawhide with texet-xdvi from updates.

Also tried yum-protectbase, but that only protects a repo if the repo is
enabled.  So yum update tries to install tetex-xdvi but yum
--enablerepo=development does not.  But of course, I don't want
development enabled most of the time.
