Thanks!

I didn't know if this was a problem on my end or some other factor.

With these sort of errors happening. It would be great if yum would 
continue down the list, then inform you of the failures it found with 
the files not found.

Currently, it dies out and leaves the programs that would install, later 
on in the cue, to not install.
