Ok, that's really good to know. Yum however does not resolve this
correctly, and yum is our default package manager.

I just tried:

[sgallagh at sgallagh540:~]$ sudo yum install fedora-release-server
- --disablerepo=fedora --disablerepo=updates  --enablerepo=rawhide
- --disablerepo=updates-testingLoaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo,

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


And also:

[sgallagh at sgallagh540:~]$ sudo yum swap fedora-release-workstation

Exiting on user command
Your transaction was saved, rerun it with:
 yum load-transaction /tmp/yum_save_tx.2014-07-10.12-49.uQjUpN.yumtx




Neither of these approaches with yum worked correctly. It's good to
know that about dnf though..
