Do the updates repos xml files get out of sync with reality ?.

Hi all.

Having problems with yum in FC11, it is suggesting uodates for files that do not exist.

Did a 'yum clean metadb', 'yum clean cache', 'yum clean all' as that normally fixes issues, not this time.

It does pull down all the xml files just fine, the problem is that the rpm filesets it suggests for update from those new files just do not exist.

It only finds about 30 packages to update (as I have been a good boy and keep things updated) but none of the files actually exist on the mirror servers. I selected a single one here as I'm sure you don't want to trawl through the lot...
[root@eagle packages]# yum update bzr

ETC...

I also tried disabling the mirror list and using just the baseurl
baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/
$basearch/
which also had the same problem.

I then used firefox to browse the updates directories (at download.fedoraproject.org and some of the other mirrors) that were reporting the 404 errors, and the errors are correct, the files just do not exist (well not yet anyway).

So are the updates repo files out of sync at that end or have I missed something obvious that I should also have deleted from the yum setup.

You are right. I get the same result.
This happens only i386. Probably forget to push from Test to Update.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll just wait until they eventually appear then.
