This can happen when the directory is not properly mirrored. Expecially using the --size-only option cannot be used for mirroring rpm-md repositories. Another possiblity is that a mirror itsslf is in an inconsistent shape. The sometimes happens to the packman mirrors. I think no bugreport is neccessarry. [...] Cheers Herbert
