f20 strange local repo behaviour

[Robert Moskowitz]

when I edited the yum.repos.d files to point to my local repos, I got 
the following error doing a yum update:

Error: Package: gnutls-utils-3.1.17-3.fc20.i686 (updates)
            Requires: libopts.so.25
  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I have the same number of files locally that I am seeing on the mirrors, 
so what gives?  Is there perhaps a permission problem?  I used rsync to 
build my repo:

rsync -auv --delete --exclude=debug/ 
rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/20/i386/ 
/var/flexshare/shares/repo/fedora/20/updates/i386

When facing dependency problems, never truncate Yum output, and always query
the remote repos as well as the installed packages to show what's available
and what's installed already.

Why not use yum*local,
never had a problem with it.
and use "repomanage --help" (yum-utils) to keep N number of versions,
in case downgrade foo needed.

What is yum*local?  Are you talking about yum updatelocal where I have 
the specific rpms local?  Why?  I have rsynced the WHOLE 
fedora/20/updates repo to a local server (over night via cron job) so I 
can update multiple systems.

But I have a repo that I rsynced?  Why do I need repomanage?  I looked 
at --help and did not see what this would do.

Meanwhile man yum.conf SEEMS to imply that I could:

baseurl=http://myrepo
mirrorlists=unchanged
failovermethod priority

the later so it will use my provided baseurl first and only go to 
mirrorlists if mine is not available (I am at a conference) or a 
specific package is not on my repo for some reason.

Looks like this works.
