Yum Update doesn't work (formerly NFS problem -- just doesn't work)

[Stephen Thudium]

Thanks, everyone for helping me with my NFS problem.

However, the remedy, yum update, does not work on my two YDL  
computers (and it hasn't worked for over a week).

When I try that I get the following error message:

http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/5.0/updates/repodata/ 
primary.xml.gz:
[Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from updates: [Errno 256] No  
more mirrors to try.


Thanks,
Steve
