Did you save the bad file. If so how does it compare with
the above and with the version on your disc.
For the file from my Fedora cd:
$md5sum yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm dd4249018c1674b73e9ddab08828303f yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm $sum yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm 29472 127
For the file I downloaded $md5sum yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm 8a82c3f05fca0a615d1765394376f809 yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm $sum yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm 47550 127
By chance does the file contain something like an HTML message that says try later? Look at the bad file with 'file' and with 'less'.The file command shows type data. Less shows "yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm: not an rpm package (or package manifest):"
I suspect that the repository file is corrupt, as I've installed the one off my Fedora CD and it works as it should.
