Well, I looked in all of them. About all I saw was that the baseurl was
commented out in a couple where I didn't expect that, and changed it. That
didn't do the job -- it still tries to get a version for FC4, and still
fails.

What I didn't see was how the repo files, or the repo itself, can tell
which distro it is. Is there some unknown (to me) magic in basever or
releasearch that tells??
