Well, the problems are that the mentioned font rpm does not officially
exist and can therefore be called from corefonts to msfonts by the
sef-building user, and also having open dependencies in a repo makes
yum bark out for all updates. :/

Maybe the problem can be attacked by better documentation which is
effectively non-existent at ATrpms :(
