+Subject: [PATCH] yum: Work around a yum API break so that resolving still
+ works
+
+In e42ea3dc0b02ba73a11211de4062e87abfb77a6a yum changed the public API so that
+str(repo) returned 'fedora/18/i386' rather than just 'fedora'.
+This broke PackageKit pretty hard as the repo name is used in the package_id.
+
+Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=854209
