I first ran into this problem on a system I was building this morning. I just reregistered it and tried my usual yum clean all followed by a yum update and it worked.
Then I just went to the system I built yesterday, did a yum clean all and a yum update and this time it worked. (It had failed just a short while ago.) Maybe they fixed something on the RH end. Maybe they'll report something on the bug I filed.

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! ~rp On 01/24/2012 04:08 PM, Dennett, Charles wrote: > Thanks for that link.
