reassigning to pirut

Can you try the pirut from updates-testing
  yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update pirut
and see what you get?

After that when I run pirut I see the gui come up (an improvement) and then a
dialog comes up saying "Retrieving Software Information". The status thermometer
completely fills up and then pirut seems to hang; the thermometer is filled in
with blue and the mouse cursor remains in the "hourglass" state.

Aditional info:
After waiting for an untold amount of time (longer than 5 minutes, possibly 20
minutes) there was a dialog that said:
Unable to retrieve software information.
Unable to retrieve software information. This could be caused by not having a
network connection available.
