Comment 1 Pradeep Kilambi 2011-06-16 21:43:42 UTC 
The issue is with modifyrepo and how it stacks .gz when we run it. We now use a newer version of createrepo in pulp repo for el5..pulp now requires this version of createrepo.

with newer createrepo
# rpm -q createrepo
createrepo-0.9.8-3

# pulp-admin repo sync -F --id=foobar
Sync for repository foobar started
