The Uni of Edinburgh does not use yum on its supported (LCFG) SL5.x
platform. We have to installed each and every rpm.

What's wrong with just 'yum install xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi' or
if you actually just wanted emacs then 'yum install emacs'?
If you try to install RPMs individually you'll get these problems, which
is why programs like yum (and the repositories behind them) were invented.
