To summarize, the problem is that new updates have been pushed to the server between the time you loaded primary.sqlite and prestodelta.xml. When you run 'yum clean metadata' or 'yum clean all' it removes the outdated cached primary.sqlite and downloads the newer version. The bug has been closed as WONTFIX because there have only been a few reports; I wouldn't mind revisiting that decision if someone has a clever way of fixing it. (And I'm not convinced that checking n mirrors and then giving up is the solution.) Jonathan
