Attached is a simple patch that checks to see if the input is a tty (and that -y is off) and if so, prints out the actions yum will take. I think this is a reasonable short-term fix: there's no reason why yum should print out ask the user for an answer to "Is this ok?" from a tty without printing out what it is asking for advice about. The other solution would be to assume the -y option when the log level is 1. Note that this patch won't break cron scripts since behavior when yum is run without being attached to a tty is unchanged.
