Type conversion in some yum utils

Hi Johnny,

[Taking this to a public list.]

Could you apply the attached patch (per Matt Hyclak) to
yum-utils for
CentOS 4? This is necessary to have reposync and a couple of
other
utilities working well with yum 2.4 + yum-metadata-parser.

It might also be worth looking at the additional patches
Daniel Berrange
submitted to reposync while we're at it. See the thread

These are very useful changes. I guess it's best to let them
cook in
upstream CVS for a bit more.
