Problem adding yum repositories & yum crashes

[Mullen, Randy]

I was having the same problems with yum after a fresh install of YDL 3.0.1
I ended up re-installing yum and my problems went away.  yeehaw

Looks like yum doesn't do the right replacement of $releasever or
$basearch... maybe upgrading to the latest yum version (2.0.7) would be a
good idea and probably fix the problem.

You can just :
rpm -Uvh \

.noarch.rpm
