Emacs (such as Pymacs, ECB and so on), all of them will try to
install Emacs 23.  I think that my problem is that yum doesn't
recognize my Emacs as a suitable substitute (or is at all
unaware of its existence). How can I make yum aware of it and
not install older Emacs when trying to install Emacs modules?  $
yum list installed | grep "emacs"  Doesn't give emacs-common or
anything to that effect, which only confirms my assumption.
