F7 Upgrade broke yumex.

I just upgraded my machine to F7 using the DVD. I've got most everything working again, except for yumex. Whenever I try and setup the preferences for the firewall settings I need I get this error.

14:19:05 : Yum Config Setup

Any thoughts, I've removed and reinstalled yumex to no avail.

I think in updates-testing there's a new yumex

I had the same problem when I upgraded from fc5. I couldn't access software updater or the package manager either, so I decided to do a full install instead and that solved the problem

That's not at option at the moment unfortunately

I had a similar problem on one of the computers that was upgraded from FC6>F7. I had disabled all of the repos that were listed in "/etc/yum.repos.d" thinking that new repo files would be written well it seems that "fedora.repo" was fine but "fedora-updates.repo" was not working.

What I did was copy the "fedora-updates.repo" file from a laptop that had a clean install and was updated and working to the desktop that was not updating. I renamed the original "fedora-updates.repo" file and left it in the "yum.repos.d" folder until I made sure the one from the working laptop worked.

It turned out that I started to receive updates and it sorted out my yum/yumex problems. Here's a copy of my "fedora-updates.repo" file to compare yours with.

A post must be 10 chars so here's the 10 chars...

Yep, the "yumex" in the updates-testing repo also fixes the 30% hang when the updates-testing is enabled....

Thanks, I will give that a try as soon as I can boot into Linux. My company won't let me VPN from my Linux install, so I'm forced to run windows at the moment, sigh.

Seems a little happier with the new version from updates-testing. Thanks. Unfortunately it still can't seem to save settings for my proxy server at work, so guess for now will stick with the command line.
