Hi,
After digging into this a bit more it looks like the ""Error: failed to
retrieve repodata/primary.xml.gz from rhel-x86_64-server-5" error is
part of an issue on RHN. This will also be addressed by the fix going
out next week.
To recap:
* Several of the problems discussed on this thread are related to an RHN
problem that should be fixed next week
* Other issues are part of a yum bug that will be fixed with 5.3, which
is also going to be released soon
If anyone needs more detail or has any questions just let me know.
Thanks again.

Hi,
Thanks for highlighting these Yum issues. I'd like to get as much of
this info as I can into our Knowledge base.
It looks like several people on the list have hit the bug mentioned
(448012)
For that issue, we've put together this kbase:
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-15495
For the issue with this error:
"Error: failed to retrieve repodata/primary.xml.gz from rhel-x86_64-
server-5
error was [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum
"
I am still looking into this.
Also, I can confirm that we have definitely had some availability issues
recently with RHN. We have put several changes into production to
alleviate these, but there are still some 404/502/503 errors. A fix is
going into production on Jan 20 that should resolve this. There are also
some issues with download speeds on RHN, and we are looking into options
for improving that.
Thanks to everyone for your help and patience while we sort this out.
Please feel free to email me or reply to the thread with any questions
or suggestions.
