Description of problem: Something broke the F8 groupupdate yum checksums. Can't yum groupupdate Base on any F8 box. I tried all the steps google suggest for this error. This bug has been reproduced on 3 boxes, one of which ran groupupdate ok just the other day. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.7-1.fc8 How reproducible: always, 3 boxes tested so far Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum clean all 2. yum groupupdate Base 3.

Expected results: yum should update without checksum errors Additional info: yum update appears to run fine, it's just the groupupdate that fails. Tried with and without yum-fastestmirror. Tried clearing all proxy caches. Tried flushing data/metadata many times.
THere was a corrupted comps file in the repo. This was corrected yesterday, if your mirror is up to date you should no longer be seeing this issue.
