Comment 2 John Matthews 2009-12-07 21:04:43 UTC

This has been fixed with work done during Sprint #3.  

The issue was related to RHN Hosted plugin not passing in "metadata".  RHQ was expecting a gzipped blob of xml package metadata, this metadata is later pulled from the DB and put together to form a primary.xml file for yum.

Marking as "MODIFIED" state until we have clear direction on what state this should be.

QA Closing -- essentially untestable.
