Thanks, I was not aware of this. Never really read yum's manpages much.

I guess that this can not be done using yum then?
rpm -qi yum-plugin-tsflags
cat /usr/lib/yum-plugins/tsflags.py
man 5 yum.conf - tsflags
"excludepath"?
If you haven't found that it works that way, it's for your own good.
yum love us all. :)
Btw, does GoogleEarth have a repo, or is there a third-party repo
somewhere?
rpm -qp --scripts google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm | grep yum.repos
But the question is, does it work at all. ;)
