google for "centos error performing checksum" refers to createrepo but of course "yum install createrepo" also fails and the instructions appear to be overkill. Is there a "simple" soultion?

Your problem is that rhel-src repo is not available.

Workaround is to run:

"yum update --disablerepo=rhel-src"

until you disable rhel-src in /etc/yum.repos.d/ file

if you just want to update: disable the rhel-src repo, you don't need it.
