Shortly after upgrading yum to yum-3.2.4-2.fc7
I noticed this error:
Resolving Dependencies

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getProvides'
But if I change the value in skip-broken.conf: check_always = 0
then I get this:

So, is the skip-broken plugin broke? Or is it even needed anymore?
Thanks.
