Hi, If y'all could find it your hearts to test out the daily available at: http://www.dulug.duke.edu/yum/download/1.0/daily/yum-20030226.tar.gz I rewrote the getupdatehdrlist b/c the code I wrote earlier today was so horrible as to make my eyes bleed. So I rewrote it, copiously documented it and I think it makes A LOT more sense, it sure is prettier, at the very least. This daily is for rpm 4.0.4 based systems so rhl 7.X and 8.0. it handles multiple versions and multiple archs nicely and outputs debugging a lot more nicely. So please, if you can test it. I've tested it in the cases that Tom described yesterday and It does the right thing, now, I think :) Thanks. -sv ps: I also ported this code into the rpm 4.2 branch of yum.
