repository problems with EL4/yum 2.6.1

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

Hmm... this is unexpected.  Our repo build system was upgraded to Fedora 9 a little while ago, so it seems there might be a problem with the createrepo on F9. I'll investigate.

Hi,


Yeah, I do get the same thing with RHEL4/CentOS4. In my case I fixed  
it locally by recreating the repodata information on the local mirror.

pushd /data/dist/dell/hardware/latest/platform_independent
for i in *; do
	pushd $i
	createrepo .
	popd
done
popd

If you aren't you most likely need to wait for the Dell guys to  
recreate the repodata with an older createrepo (I think)

On an additional note, the automagical wget something in %post and run  
it that the dell-omsa-repository rpm is doing also needed to be  
overridden (disabled) :)
