[ATrpms-users] FC7 yum update "list index out of range" for flac

[Richi Plana]

Better yet, this should be fixed. Whatever the cause (some repo
misconfiguration, repo versions conflicting), it's a bug that has to be
filed against yum. Do they have a bug reporting site?

It's tempting to just manually RPM install over the package that's
causing the breakage, but that might eradicate any hints that the yum
developers might need to track the problem down.

If the problem is 'caused by an error with the repos, they have to be
informed, as well.
