Well, maybe my "Google fu" is off but I just posted the error message I
received as I normally do when I hit a problem but didn't get one clue
back about 'yum clean all'. I know: what an amateur.
Anyway all's well now, my client's happy, he's got all his machines

the so the story's told.
Thanks to everybody for their help. Have a good one,
Cheers,
