is there a "snapshot" build of this updated yum I can test with? I'm hitting this bug right now.
i realize there are other bugs/comments i cannot see, and I'm hoping one of them contains a link to a fixed version of this package. is that possible?
Hi David, There should be a fixed release shortly, stay tuned! -Guil
