Do you have a network connection available?
Yes, I have a network connection available.
Created attachment 202881 [details] Log file from pirut gui Just another datapoint. I, too, have a network connection. This is the the first time in a year of "it just works" of pirut not working for me.
OK, this is just weird.... pirut was giving me error messages, and now it just works fine!!! Go figure! This may be useful for the developers though... In my case, I was out of town on business using the wired Internet connection provided by the hotel. Perhaps there was something in their servers that was preventing pirut from getting to the repository. I dunno. The next night at the hotel everything was working as expected.
Created attachment 221081 [details] Updates - could any of these cause the pirut bug???
An updated pirut packages is available in the Fedora 7 Updates Testing repository which should help to resolve this problem. Can you install this package by running yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update pirut and then see if you still can reproduce this problem?
Created attachment 290568 [details] pirut bug repeated failure
I attached the above file after trying to get the updated pirut from updates-testing. (I also had to set priorities in my .repo files - updates-testing @ 99; updates @ 110; base @ 150)
