With the beta builds, packages tend to get moved around a lot. This is
good from a development viewpoint since it helps keep organized, but it
is bad from a caching perspective. Caches can go stale quickly.

With the beta builds in particular, if you run into a yum error the
first thing you should do is clear our your cache:

	yum clean all

and then try again.
