Thanks for taking a look at PyVault. I regenerated the yum headers for 
that directory.  Try again in an hour or so after it rsyncs up to 
python.org.

I'm still working on some infrastructure for PyVault to help with 
maintaining it and building it. So, some of these directories have gone 
unmaintained.

In the future, I plan on only supporting Fedora 3 and 4, and CentOS 3.5 
and 4.  Also, albeit controversial, I think I'll only support xml 
metadata which yum 2.2+ and smart support.  This means old yum and apt 
will not be supported. The complexity of generating 3 kinds of metadata 
is not fun to deal with.

take care,
