Before throwing away all the files and headers someone's spent ages
downloading, and will have to download all over again, I'd try just "yum
clean metadata".  That just gets rid of some *small* files that may be
causing problems due to various repo mirrors not being up to date.

This is caused by an update to the "updates" repository during the
half-hour that yum considered its cache to be valid after its last run.
Waiting and trying again will fix it, as will "yum clean metadata" or "yum
clean cache".  Installing my stablemirror plugin can prevent it from
repeating, as stablemirror always checks the current state of the repo.
(Well, there would still be trouble when an update happens during a run of
yum, but trying again immediately will take care of it.)
