Not sure what to make of it. Search through your repo and look to see if you have 2 packages names comps.rpm, just for fun - that's the only thing i can think of - alternatively - see if yum leaves the comps.rpm that is corrupted in /var/cache/yum/repo/packages. if so I'd like to see in what way it is corrupted. thanks, -sv
