Re: Problems with RHN repository in RHEL Desktop v.5 x86_86

I am having a similar problem today.  On Friday, there was an issue where my
system status at RHN showed an update to logrotate for RHEL5 on x86_64, but
neither "yum update" nor "pup" would get this update.  I tried a "yum clean
all" on one of my machines but it did no good.  Today, that machine gives a
repository error similar to that listed below, while systems that I did NOT
perform a "yum clean all" on picked up the logrotate update when I did "pup"
today.  With luck, someone at RedHat will see this and look into it.

Good night mates,

I'm currently unable to update or install any packages from my system
(RHEL Desktop v. 5 x86_64) because of this error:

[user@machine ~]# yum check-update
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
rhel-x86_64-client-5                                     | 1.4 kB     00:00

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

Have you guys ever faced this problem, and possibly know a solution?

I've tried commands like...

yum clean metadata
yum clean all
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*
rm -rf /var/spool/up2date/loginAuth.pkl

... but with no success, unfortunately.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Kind regards,

Bruno Martins
