This crash has happened twice--both times as I was trying to "Process the Queue" with a few minor package installs. Yumex performed a successful install between the two crashes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yumex-1.0.3-3.0.fc5 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. add a package to the Queue 2. process the Queue 3. Actual Results: got a crash error and an opportunity to save the crash dump file (pasted below into "Additional Information" Expected Results: Yumex should have proceeded with downloading and installing packages Additional info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/yumex/yumexmain.py", line 137, in on_queueProcess_clicked self.yumexbase.reset_ts() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yumex/yumexBase.py", line 128, in reset_ts self.doUpdateSetup() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 313, in doUpdateSetup self.doRepoSetup() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yumex/yumexBase.py", line 232, in doRepoSetup repo.getRepoXML( text=repo ) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/repos.py", line 673, in getRepoXML cache=self.http_caching == 'all') File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/repos.py", line 620, in get raise Errors.RepoError, "failure: %s from %s: %s" % (relative, self.id, e) RepoError: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from dries: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

This error happens because yum metadata can't be loaded from the Dries repository. in yumex 1.2.x & yumex 1.9.x, these kind of errors is catched and shown in a more user friendly way. I have no plans to fix it in yumex 1.0.x, i have limited time and will use it on the most recent versions of yumex, Sorry.
