I too see this regularly. yum clean metadata stops it for a while. I am not sure if it is a problem with the way epel metadata is generated or just out of date mirrors. I occasionally see it with other repos but it happens with epel far more frequently. I have considered adding cron jobs to clean the metadata every so often but so far I just put up with it. You might want to ask on the epel list. Regards, -- Tom me at tdiehl.org
