hey guys..

I'm continually seeing the following error although I've got the latest/greatest yum RPM from various CentOS 5.2 repos (mirrors.kernel.org http://mirrors.kernel.org most recently). is there possibly something wrong with the RPM's checksum somewhere upstream?

note: I've already regenerated our own mrepo server various times and refreshed the metadata on my yum clients as well.

Or it could be getting corrupted by an upstream proxy if you have one.
