I think maybe down the road it would be good to add messages from yum as 
well for some errors. For example if yum.conf gets created as 
yum.conf.rpmnew  it would be a good idea to tell the user about it.
The rest of the scripting errors maybe they could do without but some errors 
are essential to know about.
