Maybe. The latest firefox update no longer triggers the problem, but that doesn't mean the yum issue is fixed. Yum didn't detect the issue while depsolving, so that skipbroken could skip the firefox update and update other stuff. The error message specifically requested a bug filed against yum rather than the package that triggered the problem.
Yeh, but as I've said in other reports of this bug ... this is really a specfile/rpmbuild problem as the version was broken.
