If you omit "--noscripts" from: 'rpm -ivh --noscripts --excludepath /usr/bin google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm' you'll get your repo file, but as I said before, google-earth.repo per se doesn't guarantee that the whole thing work. You can ask Google directly whether the repo is actually set, at all.

OK, it means: read the yum.conf manual, and under the OPTIONS search for the "tsflags" and find whether there is a flag "excludepath" advertised. rpm -qi yum-plugin-tsflags cat /usr/lib/yum-plugins/tsflags.py It means: what the 'yum-plugin-tsflags' provides you is translation from the yum.conf style to the yum command line style, therefore read '/usr/lib/yum-plugins/tsflags.py' for an example to do so.
