That really doesn't seem to be a genuine gripe. There are occasional
problems with mirrors being out of sync but what Mr Raymond did appears
to be to discover rpm wasn't letting him do an update and decide to
remove some files by hand, at which point he discovered rpm was right.

Then he did some crazy things to get his files off instead of inserting
the rescue cd, and using rpm --root to reinstall the package in the
running system as he would have been advised if he asked.

(As they say 'half clued is more dangerous than clueless')

Yum/rpm has performance problems in some cases. It's certainly slower
than dpkg/apt in many cases. Work is occuring...
