Looks like a bug in the meta group code, you can work around it by 
comment out repo.mdpolicy = "group:all" in _check_init() in 
yumDBUSBackend.py, until it is fixed in upstream yum

James A:
Look like you need to check if 'old_repo_XML' is a key in 
self._oldRepoMDData, like you do in another part of the code.
