Not really. The above two bugs are duplicates of something that yum does

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.
