It should be noted, only http is broken, ftp still functions and there
are rawhide ftp mirrors.

Yum in rawhide has been broken by Python changes (caused by Python

breakage has been going on for a while and effectively halts the

Fedora development can continue?

Sorry for the fuss...
You couldn't just add this to the bug? The bug appears to be in a beta
release of python 2.4. I could put a couple of patches into yum but
they'd just be a hold over until python gets fixed.
Well... it'd be much easier for a user running the current python to
get a new yum RPM to be able to fix their system than to go through
the dependency fun that is upgrading python when something like yum is
"busted". I am OK with this not going into the upstream yum package,
but it might be worth adding to our packages for the time being....
