We really, really do not recommend 'everything' installs.

But on that note, thank you for reporting the error.  The yum-conf-4x is 
a new rpm, and it seems that we didn't have the rpm settings correct. 
Give me a day or two, and we'll have a fix for it, although ... we still 
do not recommend an 'everything' install except for testing.
