Well, I came back to report that the above didn't work and saw your reply. You are absolutely right. It doesn't work.
I had assumed that yum used the list of files to create the update list but that obviously isn't true. It ignored the
file. When I tried to update using the rpm -Uvh it wanted the dependency of libplasma.so.3.
As I said, I realize I could mess around and get this to work, but what kind of test is that? I also didn't realize
that the koji package wasn't signed until it was released to updates-testing. So rather than use John5M2's technique,
I'll just wait till it hits updates-testing.
Thanks everyone for your help.
