[ILUG] Fedora and YUM

[Jason Corcoran]

Decided you upgrade my Mandrake 9.0 distro last night and went for 
Fedora. So I downloaded the three iso's and installed the distro.

On the installation one note - When I picked to use disk druid it was 
giving out about the partitions that my mandrake install created and 
would not use them, so I had to go back in and  backup my data and nuke 
the partitions. Not a biggy it was mostly a machine for testing software 
that was built in house anyway.

But to my question....

Using the default yum.conf I proceeded to do a yum list and after about 
an hour of downloading header files (old machine on a cable internet 
link) if I do a yum install <package> I get the following....

[root at www root]# yum -y install postfix
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Resolving dependencies
Dependencies resolved
I will do the following:
[install: postfix 2:2.0.11-5.i386]
Getting postfix-2.0.11-5.i386.rpm
postfix-2.0.11-5.i386.rpm 100% |=========================| 252 kB    05:32
error: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: MD5 digest: BAD 
Expected(39f07b1184f574700b890971b17be78c) != 
(9737c408b7312e36bd346e394532ea3f)

It then proceeds to download and install, in this case, postfix. Is this 
a configuration problem of have I missed a step when getting the initial 
information from the yum repository.

Thanks
Jason.
