This seems to be causing problems again. Yesterday after a couple of
"yum clean all && yum update" it all worked and updates worked. This
morning i ran update again and all the f15 packages are back. Just for
fun i checked all the mirrors to see if any of the mirrors were
different and stumbled upon a repoview showing f15 packages [1]. All
the rest seem to be showing correctly. In addition in the one repo
that shows f15 packages the actual packages seem to be the f14 ones. I
suspect repodata issues in that one mirror. I also don't know how yum
picks the mirror to pull from but that one mirror that's wrong does
seem to be top of the list in the mirrorlist which might explain why
so many people are stumbling on it.
