Yeh, I looked at the bug but I'm not sure what it is for. If anything it's probably a yum bug but the only one I know about is: http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=yum.git;a=commitdiff;h=568eaf5b88f376a1822396fd9dc7324d1aed23ea ...which was a while ago, and didn't cause much damage. -- James Antill - james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/releases http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/whatsnew/3.2.28 http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumMultipleMachineCaching -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
