Description Kamil Páral 2012-09-19 09:25:21 UTC
Description of problem:

This is what I received. Richard Hughes asked me to report it against yum.
<hughsie> PK is asking yum to download a file, but all yum says is "invalid"
<hughsie> which isn't really helpful


[kparal@localhost ~]$ pkcon --only-download --background update

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.4.3-42.fc18.noarch
PackageKit-0.8.3-4.fc19.i686

How reproducible:
I don't know, it's possible that the file download got corrupted. When I rebooted and tried again it worked.

Comment 1 Zdeněk Pavlas 2012-09-19 14:35:36 UTC
Yes, package was downloaded and the checksum failed.  This should have been detected earlier and downloaded again from next mirror, but due to a Yum bug the checkfunc callback was essentially ignored.  Fixed upstream.

Comment 4 Kevin 2012-11-16 23:28:44 UTC
I have something similar, at least in the error message:

Error Downloading Packages:
  xless-1.7-12kc_0tek_fc17.x86_64: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
  xless-1.7-12kc_0tek_fc17.x86_64: Downloaded package xless-1.7-12kc_0tek_fc17.x86_64, from homebrew-fedora-17, but it was invalid.

I packaged xless myself, and

xless-1.7-12kc_0tek_fc17.x86_64.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK

I created the repo with

createrepo --database /home/local/src/homebrew/fedora/17/executable

I wonder if the forthcoming update will help me.  For now I'm installing with rpm.

Thanks....
