This happens from time to time, thanks to mirrors being out of sync (not being ready). Eventually yum should find one that's okay, but sometimes you might have to try a few times, or wait a while for the mirrors to finish sorting themselves out. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
