[ale] Fedora 11 mirrors not available?

[Jim Kinney]

I'm seeing specific package missing error in the repo mirrors. I suspect a
sync failed. Luckily the missing packages as of 8 am are only bug fixes.

To do an update when packages are missing/not available the following flags
work nicely on a command-line yum update:

(as root) yum --exclude="space delimited missing packages" --skip-broken
update

The exclude flag will skip the list and the skip-broken will skip any
packages that are dependent on a non-available package. I don't think
--skip-broken is a default part of PackageKit (the gui updater/notifier that
likes to gives error out like halloween candy when the mirrors croak).
