I did and yes, the headers dirs are gone right now, They're not on the
mirror master either.

Nor will they be able to use up2date to update their systems. All
michael and I have been trying to say is that this is not a bug IN YUM.
We're just trying to limit the number of messages we get from bugzilla,
nothing more.

this is not about mocking you, this is not about mocking or denigrating
users or anyone. This is about TRYING, apparently in vain, given the
length of this thread, to limit the time we will waste closing bugs b/c
of the error on the mirror master.

yes. It's been reported to the mirror people. It's a weekend, many
people are home with families and what not.
