I was able to download fine via wget and install via rpm. I believe the yum error "Package does not match intended download" is likely a better indicator of the problem and the following "Requested Range Not Satisfiable" errors are a byproduct - perhaps an error in yum or a library it uses. I just found a thread entitled "Update fails with "Package does not match intended download"" on the Centos PHPbb forums and it has a fix (have not tried myself). The fix is to disable the fastestmirror plugin by editing the /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=19479&forum=37 I also found reference to the same error and problem during the CentOS5 -> 5.1 release. I'm not sure what the fastest mirror plugin is doing (perhaps caching old data?), but it does not seem that it is being tested thoroughly by Q/A during these respins. Perhaps this clue will help others... --Blake -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
