The most current version's are in testing repos and are
Pulp: 0.251
Grinder: 0.130
Gofer: 0.60

You must be using the community release repo in which this issue exists. 
If you're not particular on sticking with community release  and feel ok 
upgrading to testing you can use the repos from 
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/testing/ . If not, this 
issue should be resolved in the next community release. Look for a 
announcement on this list.

Hope this helps,
