  ok, that works but there's still some weirdness happening.  if i try
the same thing with "kernel-devel", i get no hits, even though i
*just* downloaded that from koji minutes ago.  why wouldn't the
"kernel-devel" package be found?

  and the package i'm really looking for is "kernel-firmware", which
is a listed dependency of the koji kernel package.  if i can't find
the kernel-firmware package, i'm kind of stuck trying to install the
kernel package.
