How reproducible is this? I'm mainly curious how you hit it, but I don't have 666 BZs :).

I was trying to preupgrade my laptop (HP dv6405ca) when I ran into this bug. 
The first time occurred when I performed #yum install preupgrade.
The second time I saw the bug is when I tried to perform an upgrade from the DVD.

Comment 4 James Antill 2011-05-26 13:58:20 UTC
 Ok, I guess you just have a few packages without any yumdb data ... and that's pretty uncommon now.

 You can run:

yumdb sync

...to try and fill in the yumdb with known data. This may not be enough though, so worst case you can do:

yumdb set hack abcd '*'

Comment 5 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2012-04-27 15:39:01 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:57:36 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
