Fedora Users — Package yum-skip-broken broken?

I got the new key and then did a "yum update yum\*" which updated several of my yum plugins including yum-skip-broken. When I next ran yum I got the following error:

[root@hobbes richard]# yum update
Loaded plugins: changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror, kernel-module, presto,
              : skip-broken
Traceback (most recent call last):

    errcode = main(args)

    option)
optparse.OptionConflictError: option --skip-broken: conflicting option string(s): --skip-broken

Since yum was essentially broken at this point (I didn't think about disabling the plugin) I did a "rpm -e yum-skip-broken" and now yum is happily updating my system. Any python experts understand what happened?

Thanks,
Richard
