Thank you Kam. I have used 'Everything' repo for some years. In this
case, I was not at a usual repo, but (iirc) at sourceforge and wanted to
install an rpm.
And Dick. You are not being helpful. Please stop being a dickhead. I am
a big boy. I happen to know that I am playing in the deep end of the
pool. I do not need dickheads telling me I have to wear inflatable
arm-rings to swim in the deep end.

religion. Or maybe that should be an excommunicate from the religion.
