As discussed on IRC there is slightly more to this. A bunch of packages exist in foo/bar/RPMS, and repodata gets created at the foo/ level. This repodata is cached by many clients during regular operations. Then, some new packages are added, some removed, and content is moved from foo/bar/RPMS/ to just foo/bar/ and repodata is recreated at the foo/ level. My best guess here is that since many of the package checksums did not change, only their location, yum is using the cached information about those packages when it comes time to retrieve them. Something like "I'm reading in new metadata to cache, oh I already know about this package move on to the next" and the new url to the file is never added to the cache. Of course, this is purely speculation and I could be completely off base (: -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
