I haven't done the install yet, but this should probably fix things after I put it in the local packages directory so

/var/cache/yum/updates/packages for anyone reading along.
You shouldn't make up things that don't work. Yum doesn't care about
packages in there unless they appear in the downloaded repository metadata.
By placing unsigned packages in that directory, you even increase the
risk that once the signed copy is published in the updates-testing repo,
the package download will run into problems.
Either use "rpm -Uvh filename" to update a package manually, or do it like
John5342 suggested.
Well, I came back to report that the above didn't work and saw your reply. You are absolutely right. It doesn't work.
I had assumed that yum used the list of files to create the update list but that obviously isn't true. It ignored the
file. When I tried to update using the rpm -Uvh it wanted the dependency of libplasma.so.3.
As I said, I realize I could mess around and get this to work, but what kind of test is that? I also didn't realize
that the koji package wasn't signed until it was released to updates-testing. So rather than use John5M2's technique,
I'll just wait till it hits updates-testing.
Thanks everyone for your help.
