MessageCan you try running createrepo and re-generate the metafiles for that particular repository?

i.e. createrepo -v /path/to/your/repodata/primary.xml.gz/

  Subject: [Yum] yum rhn timeout error


  Hi
  I'm trying to do a package update using yum for my RHEL5 system (still have an active subscription).  In a nutshell, the program hangs indefinitely when it attempts to download primary.xml.gz.  I've tried disabling my firewalls to no avail.  I can ftp to the repository at ftp.redhat.com.  Has anyone encountered this issue?  I've copied the output below and included my .repo info:

  [root@nietzsche huskeypm]# yum install kernel-devel xorg-x11-server-sdk pkgconf
  ig
