After that, any attempt to run yum indirectly (puplet, yum-updatesd-helper,
pirut) ends up with bandwidth being fully hogged by the mentioned app . What is
more pup/pirut window never shows up. yum itself works fine (after you kill the
misbehaving app of course). I did run yum clean all, rpm --rebuilddb and suck,
but none of these helped. I'm not a netstat guru, but it seems like the software
is trying to grab somewhere from numerous fedora mirrors.

Additional info:
I guess it's not a yum bug, but I have no idea what to file it against otherwise.

                  ^^ I mean something, of course.

yum.log output

I am seeing the same on my box and I attached the yum.log file as requested.
Comment 4 Seth Vidal 2007-10-04 16:19:14 UTC 
okay - we've got broken metadata in the updates for f7 which is causing this.
adding luke and jesse

Comment 6 Luke Macken 2007-10-04 18:19:21 UTC 
Interesting issue.  The repodata composed from our end looks fine, but for some
reason the comps-f7.xml that hit the mirrors has a different checksum, which
threw off yum/pup/pirut.

Bodhi just finished mashing a fresh f7-updates, so hopefully once this hits the
mirrors this issue will be resolved.

We still need to figure out what caused this.
Comment 7 Luke Macken 2007-10-04 18:23:26 UTC 
The new comps-f7.xml that just hit the f7-updates repos looks good.  This should
hopefully fix your problem.
