 Set the number of times any attempt to depsolve before we just give up. This
 shouldn't be needed as yum should always solve or fail, however it has been
 observed that it can loop forever with very large system upgrades. Setting
-this to `0' (or "forever") makes yum try forever. Default is `100'.
+this to `0' (or "<forever>") makes yum try forever. Default is `100'.
