If so, why? so just to be sure I understand: 1. the packages didn't change on the server 2. the headers didn't change in /var/cache/yum 3. but all of the SAME headers got downloaded again? can you replicate this with a yum -d 4 output? I'm having a hard time buying this. The updated header check is dirt simple. -sv
