Description Penelope Fudd 2011-01-17 23:08:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
I added freshrpms.net's repo list to yum, and yumex hangs forever.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yumex-3.0.1-1.fc14.noarch

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -Uvh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/9/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm
2. yumex
3. <hangs with progress bar>
  
Actual results:
Yumex hangs with progress bar running forever.  I interrupted it after two hours.

Expected results:
A timeout should occur and yumex should continue.  A network error should not cause yumex to hang.

Additional info:
Setting 'enabled=0' in /etc/yum.repos.d/freshrpms.repo fixes the problem.

I can reproduce the error
Comment 2 Tim Lauridsen 2012-06-09 05:24:33 UTC 
Seam to to work in current release, it will take a while, but yumex will give you an error dialog saying there is problems getting repo information from freshrpm
