I already have all that and normally it works, but for the past few
days:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem                                                                                                        
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                        
Probably just have to wait for everything to sync.
