[CentOS] metadata cache corruption: cleared -> fixing in progress

Hi,

The big mess today in the 5.5/updates tree was caused by a cache corruption
in the master CentOS tree during the metadata creation.

<tech>
createrepo is run with the --cachedir flag. Something went bad :(
</tech>

The wrong cached metadata for the last updates (see centos-announce mailing list)
caused the issue you have all noticed today. We are sorry for that.

I initially though that it was a out of sync issue, but I was wrong.

The cachedir was cleared, new metadata generated and pushed to the main
centos.org server and going down to the public mirrors.

All should be back to normal soon.
