While the problem is bad metadata, should yum really be left off the hook for segfaulting when it gets bad data? Shouldn't yum catch that error with checks, then exit gracefully with an error code?
sure, but you need to take this upstream to get attention. I just dont see this as an important enough issue to fix within centos here. Expecting valid metadata should be a reasonable assumption.
Maybe we should start signing the metadata as well just as an added step.
