Hasn't anyone else come across the problem with a corrupted

Yeah. It's an inconvenience, but as long as yumex handles the rest of the daily
updates correctly, I'm not too worried.
Its not really the inconvenience of the bad package that is an issue here, those
things do happen.
It is the fact that the package is signed with an MD5 checksum to validate its
contents. The MD5 signature showed the package was incorrect. But, yum tried
to install it anyway. This seems to suggest that a packages contents can be
modified after signing and still be installed without any errors notified ...
Shouldn't yum/rpm refuse to install if the MD5 checksum is wrong ?
