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.

Interesting - I updated my home machine last night and my work machine this morning. What update are you not seeing?
(WOC: I usually do _not_ see the updates in the announce list until a day or two after they've already appeared in the update popup, so you have me a little confused here....)

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.

Thanks for the note. My local yum repository points to mirrors.kernel.org and I was seeing the same problem as what the OP was reporting. One client CentOS-5 machine was getting errors when yum update was run.

One of the centos.org was out of sync and caused the issue reported. It is now fixed (5h ago) on centos.org and the Tier1 mirror will soon catch up.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

My local repo is ok now, and I have successfully updated a couple machines.
I think i downloaded the whole openoffice.org updates half a dozen times. Down they would come (>200Mb worth), then they would get deleted, then downloaded again. Seems stable now....
