A nice error message would be better. This is when no http connection
can be made to the server, or a network connection isn't available. I
was using the 1.96 RPM.
Another thing I noticed is that if I run "yum list updates" as !root you
get problems if you have to download a new header file. Maybe as
non-root -C should be turned on by default. Of course -C shouldn't try
to download missing headers as it currently does. Kind of defeats the
purpose eh?
