...bz2: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum

[M8R-47ly4s]

Hello,

I tried to install the repo on a new RHEL 5 server, but I get yum errors. I also tried "yum clean metadata", but get the same errors:

Have you tried:

yum clean all

[M8R-47ly4s]

Yes, I tried all cleaning procedures found in the manual.

But nevermind, it started working now, it seems there was a temporary glitch.

"yum clean all" for future reference does not always clean all (despite the command being "clean all"). Sometimes you have to wipe the cache with this command:

rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*

In my case running "yum clean all" or "rm -r /var/cache/yum" still did not fix the error. Yum was 'caching' some stuff in:

Code: Select all

rm -r /var/tmp/yum-*
