This can be fixed right now by pushing either of these two updates:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.0.85-2.fc13.3
  (6 days old)
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.0.85-2.fc13.4
  (2 days old)

But because these updates haven't spent two weeks in updates-testing,
we'll keep seeing these errors, and installing libguestfs in F-13 will
keep causing problems for people not using updates-testing.

I think if the current package in stable is definitely broken, then
this is a case for being able to short circuit the two weeks wait.
(Even if the update we push is broken, the result won't be any worse).

An alternative might be for yum to suggest that people try packages
from updates-testing:

  # yum install foo
  Installing foo 1.2.3 from updates.
  Note: There is a newer version of foo (1.2.4) in updates-testing.  If
  you would like to test this newer package to help make Fedora better,
  try:
    yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install foo

(Would require yum to download metadata from disabled repos, which
might be a problem).

Or, yum could only suggest this if the stable package is broken in
some way.
