Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qa 'yum*'
yum-plugin-auto-update-debug-info-1.1.28-1.fc13.noarch
yum-3.2.28-5.fc13.noarch

yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-1.fc13.i686
yum-plugin-fastestmirror-1.1.28-1.fc13.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Comment 1 James Antill 2011-02-15 15:46:15 UTC
Fixed upstream:

 Before:

% sudo yum install yum-plugin-protect-packages
Loaded plugins: PT, aliases, auto-update-debuginfo, keys, noop, ps, security,
              : tmprepo, updater, verify, versionlock
Setting up Install Process
Nothing to do

 After:

% sudo yum install yum-plugin-protect-packages
Loaded plugins: PT, aliases, auto-update-debuginfo, keys, noop, ps, security,
              : tmprepo, updater, verify, versionlock
Setting up Install Process
Package yum-plugin-protect-packages-1.1.26-1.fc13.noarch is obsoleted by yum-3.2.29-3.fc13.noarch which is already installed
Nothing to do

...as the above says, the plugin functionality has moved into core yum ... see man yum.conf about "protected_packages" etc.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2011-05-30 11:21:51 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
