Update fails with "Package does not match intended download"

[bwicksall]

I ran into this problem today and none of the above solutions worked for me. In the end I had to edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and change the updates section to look like the following:

[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5

A little update since yesterday. I'm updating another machine today and I ran into the same issue again. To clarify here is what I had to do to make it work:

1) Comment out "mirrorlist" and uncomment "baseurl" in the base section of CentOS-Base.repo
2) Disable fastest mirror in fastestmirror.conf
3) yum clean all
4) yum install kernel
5) revert my changes in setps 1 and 2
6) yum clean all
7) yum update

For me it's just the kernel that has issues updating. After updating the kernel individually I can run all of the other updates normally. Is there maybe a problem with the mirror fastestmirror is choosing?

It could be possible, yes. Have you kept a record of which mirror site(s) that was (were) giving you trouble?

[bwicksall]

Just did another machine with the same failure. Here are the mirrors it used when it failed:

Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading "priorities" plugin
Determining fastest mirrors
* rpmforge: rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu
* base: chi-10g-1-mirror.fastsoft.net
* updates: centos.mirror.nac.net
* addons: pubmirrors.reflected.net
* extras: mirrors.unbornmedia.com

[AlanBartlett]

Hmm. Have you checked the status of those mirror sites (http://mirror-status.centos.org/)?

I'll ask [b]toracat[/b] if anything odd is known . . .

[toracat]

It's probably a mirror issue. Names like ".nac.net" ring the bell. Disabling fastestmirror would be the way to go (as has been done).

Experiencing the same type of issue. Disabling fastmirror did not work. Changing mirrorlist to baseurl did not work either. yum clean all && yum update glibc\* doesn't work either. I created a script to automatically update every day. Began to get this failure several weeks ago and haven't been able to resolve. When I run yum update, I get the following output. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance.

That is not a [i]CentOS[/i] kernel. Please boot the last [i]CentOS 5.2[/i] kernel, which is 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 and then perform the following --

[code]
[b]yum clean all
yum update glibc\*[/b]
[/code]
Once that has completed without error, recheck the version of [i]glibc[/i] you now have installed --

[code]
[b]rpm -q --qf "%{N}-%{V}-%{R} %{ARCH}\n" glibc[/b]
[/code]
You should now see [i]glibc-2.5-34 i686[/i] returned by the above command. If that is correct, now update the [i]yum[/i], [i]rpm[/i] and [i]python[/i] packages --

[code]
[b]yum update yum\* rpm\* python\*[/b]
[/code]
Finally, update everything else --

[code]
