Is this reproducible? If so, can you look at ls -l /var/cache/yum/updates/
It happened twice and then I used yum to update from the console, so it won't happen again. The graphical updater has always worked before. This is what I have just found in updates ls -l //var/cache/yum/updates total 9856 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-06-18 19:56 cachecookie -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 6782976 2007-06-18 19:33 filelists.sqlite -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 127520 2007-06-01 03:42 filelists.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 604160 2007-06-01 13:07 filelists.xml.gz.sqlite drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-06-01 10:56 headers drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-06-18 19:38 packages -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 2166784 2007-06-18 19:57 primary.sqlite -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26473 2007-06-01 18:23 primary.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 294912 2007-06-02 09:06 primary.xml.gz.sqlite -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1953 2007-06-16 14:20 repomd.xml
Interesting; I suspect that the problem was that a mirror was out of sync. There are some improvements to this upstream for yum 3.2.1; so hopefully that will help keep this from occurring again in the future
