Hiya,
I just installed RHEL 5.2 and tried to install vsftpd
I receive the following error :
yum install vsftpd -y

Error: failed to retrieve repodata/filelists.xml.gz from rhel-i386-server-5
error was [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum
All google results suggesting using
yum clean all (done that)
yum clean metadata (done that)
and
yum -y remove yum-fastestmirror (doesn't exist)
But still no go .. we tried from source as well, but it fails with all sorts of errors and on a supported RH system I want to avoid using source packages anyway otherwise yum update won't catch upgrades for it ..
