dan: the broken one never went stable, it does not need an FE. -106 is not affected.

Shouldn't this be sent to <announce.org>? At least my F-19 was stuck now for two weeks before I finally googled out this Bug and upgraded yum by downloading the build by hand. Only one of my two F-19 boxes was stuck this way, unaware what is the difference.
Which version of Yum for F19 could you reproduce it with? yum-3.4.3-119.fc19 has only been in updates-testing. I dunno if the previous stable one from early October (-111.fc19 which was newer than the unaffected -106.fc20) was also affected. I consider it unlikely. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/yum
(In reply to Michael Schwendt from comment #13) > Which version of Yum for F19 could you reproduce it with? yum-3.4.3-119.fc19 > has only been in updates-testing. Yes, -119, this is updates-testing enabled box. Dec 06 00:28:13 Updated: yum-3.4.3-119.fc19.noarch You are right my other box does not have updates-testing enabled, so all updates-testing boxes got stucked. Maybe the updates-testing people are savvy enough to find it out but I spent some time debugging it first.
