yum keeps reporting checksum failure
when I use the following command
Code:
yum update
it keeps reporting error messages like this:
Code:
http://mirror.yandex.ru/fedora/linux/updates/7/i386/repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum
but why?

Now I cannot use yum to upgrade the software any more!!!

I tried yum clean all dbcache metadata
and yum began to download the primary.sqlite.bz2 and reported the checksum failure...

now things are worse: everything is distroyed. Yum no longer recognize installed packages ans ask me to install/upgrade things that have already been installed, and fail to connect to repos. I tried rmp --rebuilddb but no effect.

yum still failed to read the information of installed packages correctly but after i answered yes to the installation confirmation it downloaded some packages and seemed to have figured the problem itself
