If you don't know how to use a development-branch repository, you
shouldn't try.  What yum is currently pulling from is NOT the FC4
branch.  FC4 has already branched away and Rawhide is now rolling
towards FC5.  I do, however, have a hard time believing that your
problems are really all the fault of Rawhide, because some of the
problems you named aren't common to the other testers.  If you're having
such a hard time, try a release version.  If that doesn't sound
suitable, just don't let the door hit you in the ass.  Either way, no
excuse for top-posting.
