What's the exact error you get from yum? One thing you can do is to check the output of sha1sum against the RPM in the Yum cache on the client machine and compare that against the checksum value stored in the primary.xml.gz file for one of the bad packages.

Ray,

Thanks, I was just checking the SHA sums using sha1sum and yum's misc.checksum() and I couldn't get either to match what's in the primary.xml.gz metadata.

Further investigation seems to indicate the upstream mirror we're syncing from is corrupt. Whoops, who looks silly now. :)

Thanks all, Tom
