Hi Emyr, I take a snapshot of the whole repository first to isolate us because it totally does your head in when it keeps changing. The whole directory was updated again 22 Oct. I'd try a "yum clean all", and see if it's still broken. When it works, take a snapshot and use that from then on. But you'll have to make custom entries in /etc/yum.repos.d.
