OK ... I think we may have 2 separate problems here.
One problem is a mirror that shows zero length on a file in dag's repo

BUT there is also a problem specifically with nmap ... it is a broken package checksum in the yum metadata files. Last time Dag had this problem it was a bug with the way the createrepo -c function worked.
I am no longer using the createrepo -c functionality after the incident last time.
However it seems in the case of nmap, the checksum in the metadata is wrong. Not sure where this comes from (or how I can get rid of it) since I have created the repodata many times since this issue was first reported.
Just wanted to check, since it is a security update, is there anything we (I/you/CentOS...) need to do or is it a wait for the upstream folks to fix something?
