Hmm sounds like logo supression ran amok, but I didn't do it and I don't 
think the contributed patch did either.  It looked like Fedora  had 
already nuked shadowman, perhaps this bug comes from upstream?

Known issue with yum+up2date.

That box is only going to work for up2date protocol, not yum.  So better 
to have it show localhost instead of having people bug RH's servers.  
Anyone installing current locally probably knows how to fix it up to point 
to their server.

It should by my understanding of rpm's rules.  But manually attempting to 
install the .WB1 version fails.  Forcing the issue causes up2date to 
attempt to reinstall the original.  Anyone care to educate me what rule 
I'm breaking so I don't do it again?
