Fixed In Version: yum-3.2.29-18.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the repodiff utility used a stale metadata cache in subsequent runs. When two repodiff commands were executed in succession, the second run reused cached data from the first. This bug has been fixed and repodiff now properly validates the metadata if a connection cannot be established or the cached data are about to be reused.
