Description of problem: After "Software Updater" claimed that there were 3 updates (actually it was seven packages which had updates) an attempt to ask it to perform these endend up with a traceback and RepoError: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates A full traceback is attached. The other possiblity was that a progress bar was filling up an initial one fifth, or so, and after that everything was just sitting there without any further progress. An immediate follow up with 'yup update' completed the whole update without any incidents. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pirut-1.3.7-1.fc7 How reproducible: don't know; I could not get very far with update although the later, i.e. after an updates, listing and browsing through packages in GUI did not show any anomalies.

Does this happen if you're not using the fastestmirror plugin?
With the fastestmirror plugin turned off (I tried) it was just sitting there doing stuck partway up a progress bar. OTOH it was doing that as well when 'fastestmirror' was turned on and only once came back with a traceback so I really do not know. This was yesterday when I was configuring some freshly installed machine with F7. Maybe some temporary inability to get to mirrorlist? Like I said - after that traceback I run right after that 'yum update' from a command line and everything was fine; only more updates was found than reported by pirut.
Okay, should at least be caught better in CVS now and give the user a reasonable error message
