It has been crazy this past week how a rsync on the update repo keeps downloading a number of openoffice.org rpms then deleting them. And the repodata directory seems to be messed up so that I have problems on some systems doing updates with it. My rsync script is:
#!/bin/sh rsync -auv rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.2/updates/i386/ \ --delete --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.2/updates/i386
Oh, and today we have announcement of some Centos 5 updates, but nothing available yet.
Perhaps the issue is only with your chosen mirror. I'm not well educated on how to read the centos mirror status page, but mirrors.kernel.org does appear to have a potentially questionable status of late.
