[CentOS] yum repo issue

hi all,

i'm trying to understand an issue i'm having with a yum repo (it's a
mirror of the c74 repo).

there's an rpm in the repo (ibutils-libs in this case); but the client
using this repo says it cannot find this rpm (i did yum info
ibutils-libs --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c74 to exclude all other repos).

other rpms are ok to use, so nothing structural going wrong (i think)


the repo sqlite.bz2 on the client (in /var/cache/yum/...)  mentions the
rpm (bunzip ...sqlite3.bz2; sqlite3 ...sqlite .dump |grep ibutils-libs),
so i guess that one is ok.

i downloaded the rpm from our repo and official mirror, same md5sum.

the weird thing is that yum localinstall also fails:
> [root at hyp101 tmp]# yum localinstall ibutils-libs-1.5.7-13.el7.x86_64.rpm 
> Loaded plugins: priorities, versionlock
> Examining ibutils-libs-1.5.7-13.el7.x86_64.rpm: ibutils-libs-1.5.7-13.el7.x86_64
> Nothing to do
> [root at hyp101 tmp]# rpm -q ibutils-libs
> package ibutils-libs is not installed

anyone any hints how to debug this or some clues what could be going
wrong here.
