It not only doesn't try to delete them twice, but it does actually delete the ones that need to be deleted. I tested yesterday with yum patched by hand. I tested today with the daily that you put up.

Something so that it tests to see if the header is bad, and if it is, it remove it and tries (at least once, maybe more) to get the header again. I don't really know about what sort of tests to do. I do know that checking to see if the header.info file is 0 is not a good test. We have several 'mini-repositories', and many of them don't have anything in them, so we have blank header.info files. But if I am thinking correctly, there shouldn't be a header file that is 0.
