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.
