Problem with yum-utils 1.0.4

Hi,

I'm trying to use yum (or yum-utils, whichever works) to download
packages without installing them.
Using rhel5 (local repositories only), python-2.4.3, yum-3.0.5,
yum-utils-1.0.4.

yumdownloader works, but when I added --resolve it failed with this error:
# yumdownloader --resolve yum

yum-downloadonly works, but if I add --downloaddir it fails

Using yum-tsflags prints this warning, but it still works.
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/config.py:445: DeprecationWarning:
setConfigOption() will go away in a future version of Yum.

Editing yum.conf to include tsflags=yes, and using repotrack, both works
without any warnings.

So my question is :
- Is this a known problem?
- What is the recommended way to download packages without installing
them? At this point, to download a package without dependency I need to
use yumdownloader, but if I need to download the package with all
dependency I have to use repotrack.
