I'm not an expert, but I do know this one.

You need to check with the repository. 
An example would be that downloads from Fedora.US can not be mixed with FreshRPMs. This
information is posted on their websites, along with the repositories that they can be
mixed with. These 2 repositories place files required files in different directories.

I have had issues in the past between atrpms and other repositories so 
I don't use atrpms anymore.

speaking for the typical American that speaks only 1 language, and

offer Latin -> English...

It's a famous quote from the roman senator Marcus Porcius Cato who
finished all his speeches with the often non-on-topic "BTW, I think
Carthago should be destroyed".

It's a pun for people that jump to conclusions w/o really
investigating the facts.

How do you call someone who speaks many languages?
 - Multilingual

How do you can one who speaks two languages?
 - Bilingual

How do you call someone who speaks only one language?
 - American

old joke - I referenced the fact in my question above anyway...you seem
to eager to pile on.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach him to fish, feed him for
life. Where was the Latin -> English translator when I needed it? 

anything beyond 'veni vidi vici' or 'tempus fugit' or 'carpe diem'
is
lost on me.
