the config parser in yum uses python's configparser module.

converting this over to a python bug.
Comment 3 Seth Vidal 2004-07-11 00:42:17 UTC 
Actually, I looked this up

this is not a bug in Configparser or python or even in yum.

it is intended behavior

whitespace  at the beginning of a line marks a line continuation.
