Description Michal Nowak 2009-11-10 11:15:27 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #466494 +++

Description of problem:
When downloading package(s) with yumdownloader there are several "already exists" errors reported but the package is not present. Nevertheless the package is downloaded ok.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-utils-1.1.16-8.el5

Steps to Reproduce:
# yumdownloader perl
  
Actual results:
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
perl-5.8.8-18.el5.ppc.rpm           |  12 MB     00:00     
./perl-5.8.8-18.el5.ppc.rpm already exists and appears to be complete
./perl-5.8.8-18.el5.ppc.rpm already exists and appears to be complete
./perl-5.8.8-18.el5.ppc.rpm already exists and appears to be complete

Expected results:
perl-5.8.8-18.el5.ppc.rpm           |  12 MB     00:00     

Additional info:
Works fine, when a single repository is enabled:
# yumdownloader perl --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=rhts-custom6
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.

 What does "yum --showduplicates list perl" say (I'm assuming you have the 3.2.19 yum)?

 What the above output is saying is that it's found 4 different packages for perl, and so it downloads the first one ... which works. And then it tries to download the next 3 ... but they are identicaly named, so it's refusing to do so.

I says just one line

# yum --showduplicates list perl
Installed Packages
perl.ppc                   4:5.8.8-18.el5                   installed

Same here with 

yum-3.2.25-1.fc12.noarch
yum-utils-1.1.23-3.fc12.noarch

for yumdownload --source $pkg:

What it actually does is that it download the source rpm and then twice warns/claims that that pkg is there, which is far from being necessary.
Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 15:23:45 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.

I cannot replicate this at all.

and report the output?

Apparently it's working now, not remembering in what situation it was failing. Perhaps, it's fixed now, dunno. Sorry.
