Not really. The above two bugs are duplicates of something that yum does and if there is indeed a bug you should just file or reassign it against yum and not file different ones against individual graphical front end's.

Hey, the tool I ran that didn't work was pirut (and even discovering that
was difficult since I only get to it via a menu item labeled Add/Remove
Software), so that's what I report the bug on. I don't have the psychic
powers required to determine the bug is actually in some other component.

... which is why I am informing you that so that you can close the duplicates and assign the bugs to yum if there is one.

Some of the missing parts are also located exclusively in the fedora
repos (like bogofilter and the libgsl it didn't download or claws-mail
and the two libraries it neglected to fetch for it).

The packages in Fedora does work for me in a clean installation. If there are individual packages that have a dependency issue in the official Fedora repository then bugs should be filed against them instead. The problems in any third party repository packages should be reported to their bugzilla or mailing list. None of these seem to be a yum issue.

Let me add my voice to those who suspect that there is an issue with Pirut.

I did a clean install from DVD without Eclipse (IIRC, I couldn't even get Eclipse from the DVD).

I ran Pirut and selected the Development -> Eclipse collection. Pirut downloaded the Eclipse components I had selected and installed them, but it did not download or install any of the 59 dependencies that Eclipse requires. package-cleanup reported all of them missing.

I removed the Eclipse components I had installed and then re-installed with command-line yum. All dependencies were detected and added, and they are happily downloading as I write.

Similar experience with Pirut and xfig, x3270-x11, ddd, dejagnu, amanda-client, fwbuilder.
