Hello.

Using redhat-7.3. Installed yum from
http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/7.3/legacy-utils/i386/yum-1.0.3-6.0.7.x.legacy.noarch.rpm

trying to get update for zlib, got following error:
...
[root@Test4 cache]# yum update zlib zlib-devel

I will do the following:
[update: zlib-devel.i386]
[update: zlib.i386]
Is this ok [y/N]: y
IOError - # 2 - No such file or directory
[root@Test4 cache]#

part of 'strace yum update zlib' :
...
open("/var/cache/yum/base/headers/gsl-0-1.1.1-1.i386.hdr", O_RDONLY) = 6
fstat64(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2700, ...}) = 0
fstat64(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2700, ...}) = 0
fstat64(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2700, ...}) = 0
open("/var/cache/yum/updates/headers/kdesdk-kbabel-0-3.0.5a-0.73.0.i386.hdr",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such fil
e or directory)
open("/var/cache/yum/updates/headers/kdesdk-kbabel-0-3.0.5a-0.73.0.i386.hdr",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such fil
e or directory)
unlink("/var/run/yum.pid")              = 0
...

so it looks like bad headers hit repository. Can someone make another check or
re-create this headers?
