[Yum-devel] [PATCH] Do not hide error messages when opening metadata

[Zdeněk Pavlas]

'Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository XY'
does not help much, IMO.  The original exception (download failed,
file does not exist, etc) is more descriptive.  We should:

a) include it in the wrapping message
b) do not wrap it at all

This patch implements b)

I'm aware that there was probably a reason to add this to yum
and removing it could break something..
