I am applying this fix here in case this eventually happens in Fedora or
another distro (which is fair), though I would caution you against usage
of DAG's repo in general (or at least, not without EPEL) -- cobbler and
koan can be dated.
I have also encountered cases of certain packages like syslinux being
installed in /usr/lib64, which is pretty weird :)
