Galeon! -- & VDQ yum

I have four FC4 machines on my desk -- one main one, a special-purpose
one, and a couple of backitter-uppiters. On a hunch and a hope, I tried
"yum install galeon" on one.

To my surprise and delight, it worked! And the Galeon it installed (2.0.0)
also works, and looks even better than when I had it before dependency
hell.

So I naturally went right to the other three, and commanded the same.

It worked on two, giving me a total of three galeon-capable machines.

On the fourth, however, I get only : 

[root at localhost ~]# yum install galeon

I looked through man yum, and took to poking around repos.d -- but
couldn't see what to change. I took a look at the extras file and the
updates file there, both on the problem machine and on one of the ones
that got galeon; everything has enabled=1

So what do I need to do?
