Yeah, I was afraid that was the case. I'd tried about everything in the 
man page.

Suggestion: What would be great from the standpoint of yum metadata is 
if we could query yum and have it tell us what repository delivered each 
package. Something like:

# yum list installed
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* fedora: ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de
* updates: ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de
fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00
updates 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00
Installed Packages
yum.noarch 3.2.8-2.fc7 installed fedora
yum-fastestmirror.noarch 1.1.11-1.fc7 installed fedora-updates
yum-metadata-parser.i386 1.1.0-2.fc7 installed fedora-updates
yum-updatesd.noarch 3.2.8-2.fc7 installed fedora-updates
yum-versionlock.noarch 1.1.11-1.fc7 installed local
