Charles,

Hmm. Normally this should do the trick. I have ran into this before on my test machines. Clearing the metadata and cache would help resolve this. I can't remember, but I might have removed the system off RHN and re-registered the machine and it worked.

Good luck!

Thanks for that link.  I already tried the "yum clean all".  It did not help.

Charles,

Yum fails with "[Error -1] Metadata file does not match checksum" error
while updating system

https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-25842

Not a bug.

All of a sudden today when I try to update packages for RHEL5 from the Redhat

rhel-x86_64-server-5 error was [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum

I was able to reproduce it on each system I tried it on so I presume it's 
RedHat's problem, not mine.  I've filed a bug report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=784393

Is anyone else seeing this?
