The issue originates from the fact that the new CR repo has no sqlite metadata store, its xml only. And your machine was trying to get the sqlite files - hitting a valid 404, since those files do not exist. The actual issue is that rather than yum seeing a new repomd.xml in the repodata/ dir, downloading that and knowing that there is no sqlite db available, it retained the repomd.xml you already had ( from the prev 5.6/cr repo ). So I dont think the issue really is that you hit a 404, but why was yum looking for a repo metadata file that does not exist, the new repomd.xml clearly states that those files do not exist. Do you have something interesting setup for caching, timeouts etc in yum ? or, are you perhaps behind a proxy that still served up an old ( stale ? ) repomd.xml for the same url ? - KB
