Can you debug a little bit and find out what "repomd.xml" file you have in your /var/cache/yum/livna directory? For example, fetch the metadata files manually and compare the checksums stored within it? $ wget http://mirror.atrpms.net/livna/fedora/8/i386/repodata/repomd.xml $ wget http://mirror.atrpms.net/livna/fedora/8/i386/repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2 $ sha1sum primary.sqlite.bz2 17e08a77c8f23a55739894509335d8a707eec618 primary.sqlite.bz2 That checksum should be listed in the repomd.xml file: $ grep 17e08 repomd.xml <checksum type="sha">17e08a77c8f23a55739894509335d8a707eec618</checksum>
