Description Faith Ekstrand 2014-12-30 18:53:15 UTC

Description of problem:
The problem arises when, for whatever reason, an RPM cannot be successfully rebuilt from a delta even though the drpm is correct.  In this case, dnf throws the "download successful but checksums don't match" error, redownloads the drpm, and fails again.  If the problem rebuilding the RPM is on the local machine and not a problem with the drpm, it loops until it has run out of mirrors and then refuses to update.

This is a terrible error in this case because the download was successful but, for whatever reason, the delta RPM rebuild wasn't.  Also, it would be really nice if dnf would, instead of repeatedly trying to rebuild from the drpm, eventually give up and just download the full RPM.  As it stands, hitting this issue leaves your system effectively unupgradable until you turn off deltas entirely.
