If you want a working yum on rhl 8.0 (which is rpm 4.1/4.0.4 based) You should download yum 0.9.4 Then make sure librpm404 and rpm404-python is installed. Things being broken in the dailies are, well, expected. If it breaks under 0.9.4, though, I'd like to hear more about it. That sound cool? Thanks, -sv
