Hello ... (Hi Seth! <g>)

I am having a lot of trouble with 2.1.4-1.  They are varied and wide
ranging.

For example, I have the stock yum.conf and it will proceed with
downloading a header while resolving a dependancy, get to 100% then
error out with:

[Commandline used: yum -d7 --exclude=libbon* update] (The exclude is to
exclude the borked libbonoboui with the wrong sized toolbar buttons)

rhythmbox-0.8.7-2.i386.rp 100% |=========================|  33 kB
00:00
Error: failure: Fedora/RPMS/rhythmbox-0.8.7-2.i386.rpm from development:
[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

If it has reached 100%, why would it try another mirror?

Also, this version is downloading one header at a time, and exiting
without a message.  (Er, some of the time.)

It is not productive to have it exiting on _every_ header :-)

I backed up to 2.1.3-1 for an update and it installed all the rpm's and
failed to do any of the post-install stuff.  (That has me concerned.)
It just stopped.  Left it for about a half hour sitting there with
nothing happening.)

Thanks for your time :)

Rob.
