YUM update fails repeatedly
Running Fedora core 4. Logged in as root. run YUM update and at transaction summary I see
install 6 packages
update 300 packages
remove 0 packages
Total download size 539 M
When I approve it goes to 1 of 306, glib2-2.6.6-1.i3, and tries to dowload it. Then it stops and says "package does not match checksum" and tries a mirror. It does this three times and then dies with an index error. flushed the cache with YUM clear all and repeated over 3 days with identical results. Any thoughts?

Hi,
it seems that indexes are meessed try this:
yum clean
yum list yum
clean option will clean the yum cache (though you told you've cleaned I don't know how did you do it. List yum option will read thus recreate the indexes.
Cheers,
K.
