Deleted the downloaded headers directory after I deleted the some corrupted yum packages, detected from yum-arch -c. After that gave yum-arch [dir] command. Result: Writing header.info file Error moving headers to .oldheaders, fatal Checked newly created headers directory...it was empty. Thought maybe my deletion of headers directory had made re-creation of .oldheaders subdirectory a problem. So, created a .oldheaders directory in the headers directory. But the same results. Permission Problems? Anyone know what is causing this and how do I rectify it? I was running yum-arch as root. One thing....every time yum-arch detected a wrong MD5 or sig...it exited...I had to delete the corrupted file and run the command again.Had to do this around fifteen times. Would have been nice, if yum-arch had a feature --delete-bad-checksum-or-sig to delete all rpm files that failed the -c test. It would have been still better had yum-arch a conf file stating the parent mirror and yum-arch automatically get a new file in place of deleted file. ;-)) Dreams...Dreams...Dreams!! But it certainly have made maintaining a local repository easier. Sanjay.
