Well, that's how I interpreted release notes http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.0/x86_64/release-notes/ - that I should remove that package to get proper updates after RC release). It breaks like this after that, and one has to write "7.0" into /etc/yum/vars/slreleasever to fix it. Why release notes say that we might need to remove that package and break the system? Not sure. Maybe it's to remind people that this is beta/RC stuff which is expected to break and no one will care :) -- Vladimir
