Dear all
I have installed a local yum repository.
When trying to list the list all available packages, I got this.
I have checked that repomd.xml exists on the right place and that the
webserver works fine.
I don't guess what the problem is? Could you help?

Assuming standard locations:
After each rsync you need to rebuild the repo data:
/usr/bin/createrepo -q /var/www/html/yum/5/i386/os
This one may also be 'wrong' depending on how you retrieved it. It may
actually need to be:
/usr/bin/createrepo -q /var/www/html/yum/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS
You would need to adjust your yum.conf file in that case.
In any case, use createrepo to rebuild the repository data after every
update of the repository.
# yum install createrepo
