Hi,
I just ran "yum update" using a custom yum 2.0.7 packages, which got updated
to the Fedora Core 2 one, and all went fine. Right after, I ran "yum clean
all" as often since I'm short on disk space (my laptop), and to my surprise,
there was a damaged header (zero byte file) which made yum unhappy. Simply
removing it fixed the problem.
Worth ignoring? Trying to fetch the damaged header file again and replace
it? Other ideas?
Matthias
