Walking a little bit through /srv/pungi, I found files and directories 
like 
"./imgcreate-d761yQ/install_root/var/lib/yum/yumdb/z/902c08a6406178c1a1250b98d6f6d0efea421c2b-zbar-0.10-2.fc13-i686"

zbar is installed in my F13 box!

So /srv/pungi looks for me as place for tempdata of yum. Can this be an 
explanation?

My F13 installation history: The first installation was done by running 
the F13 alpha live DVD, and then installing from the live system to HD, 
then applying all updates until today (my current fedora-release: 
fedora-release-13-0.7.noarch).
