Yum fails to install kernel-devel

Friday, 2 May 2014

yum -y update  updated more than 11500 packages, because I had not
run updates for quite a while.

Everything installed except for kernel-devel.

So, I downloaded the file directly from 

http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/20/x86_64/kernel-devel-3.14.2-20...

then I ran   yum -y install kernel-devel-3.14.2-200.fc20.x86_64.rpm

Here is the info off the screen:
