Well, if your logs back you up, then bugzilla it as a bug in yum (more
importantly in the yum installonlyn plugin), and be prepared to show
your proof in the bug report.  I can almost guarantee the first thing
the maintainer is going to do is question which kernel you were running.

Where do I read the full story (erased, updated, added)??

2) what is really funny, I cannot read the following files aslo as
root by clicking on them, but I can open by gedit!!!
yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

yumex.conf
[yumex]
autorefresh = yes
filelists = no
recentdays = 14
autocleanup = yes
proxy =
exclude =
debug = no
mirrordetection = default
nofastestmirror = 0
:

/etc/yum/pluginconf.y/installony.conf
[main]
enabled=1
# this sets the number of package versions which are kept
tokeep=2

3) The madwifi-0.9.3-2.fc7.i386.rpm from freshrpm doesn't build the
module at start-up by dkms, so I don't have wireless card operating!!!
Shall I file a bug (for madwifi not o.k.) against Fedora or Freshrpms??
