There are several bugs in the version of yum currently in rawhide that have been fixed in the upstream releases Some of these bugs are currently in Red Hat bugzilla, including: Bug #102011 - yum clean crashes under some cases Others are in RH bugzilla, but not really trackable b/c yum still hasn't been added as a component. See, for example, the bug report piggy-backed onto Bug #102010 Both Bug #102010 Bug #102807 request yum be added as a component to bugzilla In addition, there are bugs present in RH's version of yum which have only been filed upstream, due to the absence of a yum component in RH bugzilla. See, for example, https://devel.linux.duke.edu/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111 yum needs to special-case kernel-unsupported now that that's been split out from kernel. That's been fixed in upstream yum, but not in RH's yum....
2.0.2 is online for being out this weekend. That should be perfect for dropping into rawhide.
should close this - 2.0.3 is in fedora core test - 2.0.4 should be out before too long
