Package: yum
Version: 3.4.3-2
Severity: serious
Justification: renders package unusable
Hello!
yum is missing the dependency on the python-lzma package which is
needed to decompress the repository files used in newer Fedora
repositories.

Error: xz compression not available
Manually installing python-lzma fixes the problem. So this should
be fixable by just adding python-lzma to the list of dependencies
for the yum package.

I am raising the severity of this bug to 'serious' since I think it
is important to have this bug fixed for Jessie so that we are
shipping a working version of yum in the release. yum is particularly
interesting for Jessie as we have systemd-nspawn available which allows
one to boot into a Fedora change root with minimal efforts.
I would be happy to NMU in any case.
