yum installs

[Mike Ramirez]

I have had the same problem and came up with two solutions.

1.  Wait awhile and try again later.

2.  Comment out the server in /etc/yum.conf and then try again.  Later
uncommenting it out and trying again to update from that specific
server.  Its usually fine within a few hours. 

Has happened on more than one server in my yum.conf.  My best
guesstimate is the server is being updated with new packages or too many
users attempting to update at the same time.  Still not sure which one
only know that it works eventually.

Use # at the beginning of the all 3 lines of the specific server
