Description of problem: Yum Extender 1.1.5 hangs up during search of repositories. First time, I experimented having yumex not found "clement" repository: I checked out it, refreshed, and yumex hanged up. I resolved problem deleting file clement.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d. Now, Yum Extender is able and find repositories list, but hangs up when it comes to enumerating packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade yumex to version 1.1.5 2. Search for packages in repositories list Actual results: yumex hangs up. Expected results: yumex should list available packages and allow installs, or upgrades. Additional info:
when yumex hangs up, can be killed only with kill -s SIGKILL

Comment on attachment 139302 [details] Yum Extender 1.1.5 whilst populating packages list, seems due to an illegal character Yum Extender 1.1.5 crashed whilst populating packages list, and we have a crash dump (in attachment). It seems is due to an illegal character in a package's name.
It is some problem with the Italian Translation. you can start yumex with LANG=en_US yumex until i get it fixed.
I found & fixed the bug in the italian translation. I have released yumex-1.1.6, it will be availible later to day.
