trying to do a "yum update" on a recently-installed f11 alpha

MD5 sum mismatch. should i have expected this?
Yes, except that as far as I know, the only place it's been mentioned is
here. (See my suggestion, powers that be, that it would save a lot of
trouble for people to put a mention by the place where people are
directed to download).
You *might* by now, be able to fix this by just doing, before running
yum update
yum upgrade rpm
I don't know if it's been fixed to that point yet.
If not.
yum install yum-downloadonly
This will work.
yum --downloadonly install db4-utils
This will download db4-utils and possibly some dependencies and exit
after downloading.
Go to /var/cache/yum/rawhide packages and install db4-utils with
rpm -Uvh db4-utils
This should also work.
At this point, you can grab the tarball I put up--the stuff is also, as
far as I know, still at koji, but in case it isn't.
wget
http://www.scottro.net/rpms.tar.bz2
Once it's downloaded
tar jxvf rpms.tar.bz2
cd rpms
rpm -Uvh *rpm
After that, yum update should work.
