Description of problem:
Running up2date in the background ("up2date &") gave this python traceback:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-4.1.7-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. up2date &  ## as root
2. click "Forward" twice
3. wait for a couple of progress dialogs.

Actual Results:  The GUI becomes non-responsive, and the terminal gets the
python traceback.

Expected Results:  GUI remains responsive and delivers up-to-date packages,
without python tracebacks.

Additional info:

Subscribed to yum channel on rawhide.
Comment 1 Paul W. Frields 2003-10-24 12:50:49 UTC 
I'm pretty sure this was due to the recent rawhide tree reorganization, to which
we were alerted on fedora-test-list by Mike Harris (thank you, btw). This
problem does not seem to occur currently under up2date-4.1.9-1.
Comment 2 Max Kanat-Alexander 2003-10-29 22:16:28 UTC 
This is resolved in recent up2date releases. This bug should probably be CLOSED
RAWHIDE.

Comment 3 Chris Ricker 2003-11-05 14:43:09 UTC 
closing -- fixed in newer releases
