libdrm-2.4.3 needs pthreads-stubs, not available for fedora, why?

And I can't get yumex to show me that one.  I have 
libcxcb-devel-0:1.1-1.1fc8.i386, and that is not near new enough.

And it looks like the net is broken, I can only ping rpmfind.net with about a 
10% success rate, and cannot connect with a browser.  Bummer.

In fact, nothing that gets me anywhere near a fedora repository seems to have 
a DNS resolution.  WTH?  Anybody got the IP's for that?

Thanks and best wishes.
