Hi,

shane@fedora ~ $ sudo yum -y update

              : downloader
Traceback (most recent call last):

    repo._retrieveMD(mydbtype, async=True, failfunc=None)
TypeError: myRetrieveMD() got an unexpected keyword argument 'async'

I hope someone is able to help me with this, I have searched and come up with nothing....Thanks

says it's a problem with the yum-fast-downloader plugin.
