To give a little more detail, there was a bug with comps file creation
for today's updates so the file didn't match the checksum. Pup will
catch this problem (yay!), but it gives you a completely unhelpful error
message "unable to start due to a configuration error", with a Details
box containing: "None". Oops.

Like Jeremy said, it should be fixed as soon as the updates are finished
being pushed/synched.

Also I'm pretty sure that pup in rawhide/F8 will give you a more helpful
message, so if it happens again in the future things should be a little
less confusing.

RFE: Pup displays a roly-poly lovable puppy in a gtk window which has a click-able belly that makes it rollover.

Rationale: Barbara doesn't care that when updating her Fedora 7 system sha1sum fails to verify the comps file against the repodata so a clickable puppy hides all this until the mirror re-syncs.

Documentation: None required - everyone knows a puppy likes having his belly clicked.

Also consider ponies.

Cheers!
Chris
