There are 2 files in the repo. Here are the sha1sums: 515925b3868fbf9fed7581bd38a6a54eb78a0e98 VMware-server-1.0.0-24927.i386.rpm 36812d24eb5d2eb0d06f1229c654e955267f7005 VMware-server-1.0.0-27828.i386.rpm The primary.xml metadata has the checksum of the 24927 release for both files. Here is an extract of the primary.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <metadata xmlns="http://linux.duke.edu/metadata/common"; xmlns:rpm="http://linux.duke.edu/metadata/rpm"; packages="2"> <package type="rpm"><name>VMware-server</name><arch>i386</arch><version epoch="0" ver="1.0.0" rel="24927"/><checksum type=" sha" pkgid="YES">515925b3868fbf9fed7581bd38a6a54eb78a0e98</checksum><summary>VMware Server</summary>... <package type="rpm"><name>VMware-server</name><arch>i386</arch><version epoch="0" ver="1.0.0" rel="27828"/><checksum type=" sha" pkgid="YES">515925b3868fbf9fed7581bd38a6a54eb78a0e98</checksum><summary>VMware Server</summary>... The problem appears to be with createrepo. When I turn off the cache option (-c cache) the xml looks correct and yum starts working. Should I just stop using -c?
