[packagekit] YUM backend problems

[Richard Hughes]

Another backend problem:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/search-group.py", line 21, in <module>
    backend.search_group(options,searchterms)
  File "/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py", line 357, in search_group
    pkgGroupDict = self._buildGroupDict()

    comps = property(fget=lambda self: self._getGroups(),

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 769, in <lambda>
    repoXML = property(fget=lambda self: self._getRepoXML(),
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 765, in _getRepoXML
    raise Errors.RepoError, msg
yum.Errors.RepoError: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: livna-testing. Please verify its path and try again

Can we catch all yum.Errors - and even if we don't recognize them just
emit INTERNAL_ERROR and the RepoError in the description. Just doing a
traceback is not a great thing to do at all.

Thanks guys,

Richard.
