and ... "that replaced..."

And I also wrote:

# rpm -qa lease-h
fedora-release-rawhide-21-0.7.noarch

So now, as before I last wrote:

# rpm -qa | grep fedora
fedora-bookmarks-15-5.fc21.noarch
fedora-logos-21.0.3-1.fc21.x86_64
fedora-release-21-0.7.noarch
fedora-release-rawhide-21-0.7.noarch

I don't know how to remove a package that isn't installed, so I tried 
removing the package that supposedly got "replaced". :-p

<aside>wonders how/why yum-utils ever doesn't get installed</aside>

# yum-config-manager --disable rawhide
(at least 70 lines of output, more than can fit on screen at once,
none of which indicate any apparent degree of success disabling anything)

:-(

ISTR many times in the past having trouble turning onto the fork instead of 
keeping on Rawhide, and solving the dilemma with something along the lines of:

# rpm -e --nodeps fedora-release-rawhide
# rpm -Uvh fedora-release-<post-fork>

When I saw the post I replied to I thought finally the forking would no 
longer be vexing me.  :-(
