Clash between EPEL and kde-redhat for exiv2 (EL4)

Hi,

on my RHEL4 box I have installed digikam from the kde-redhat repos.  
kde-redhat also provides the required exiv2 and libexiv2 packages.  
Since a while EPEL provides an updated version of exiv2 which clashes  
with the version from kde-redhat:

$ yum update
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "protectbase" plugin
Loading "versionfix" plugin
Loading "kmdl" plugin
Loading "kernel-module" plugin

exiv2.x86_64                             0.14-1.el4             installed
Available Packages
exiv2.x86_64                             0.17.1-1.el4           epel
exiv2.i386                               0.17.1-1.el4           epel

By using priorities for the repos, I can work around the clash, but  
maybe we can find a better solution.

Cheers,

Andreas
