That is strange indeed ...

The fix was easy for this one, simply don't pass the forth argument
(strict). yum check-update worked afterwards.

But I now stumbled on a new obstacle. If I use yum-arch I get the following:

  File "/usr/bin/yum-arch", line 23, in ?
    pullheaders.main()
  File "pullheaders.py", line 130, in main
  File "pullheaders.py", line 202, in genhdrs
  File "rpmUtils.py", line 58, in compareEVR
TypeError: argument 1, item 0 must be string or None, not int

O.K., so I decided to jump on (rawhide's) python 2.2.2. and tried
yum-phoebe-1.8-20030307.1.noarch.rpm, but it doesn't like me ... :(
