Replying to myself...
I was able to find the rpm by using the websites referenced in the
repo. I can update everything else using yum and then install this
one package manually and things should work fine.
This still leaves me with a question, though. If I can find the rpm
by looking in the repo, why can't yum find it? Does it refuse to show
old packages even when the version is specified?
