yum horked a file.<br><br>yum clean all<br><br>yum update<br><br>back to doing stuff. If you get unlucky and grab the updates metafile(s) during a server update, things can get scrambled. The above incantation resolved 99% of the problems,. The rest are resolved by waiting an hour ad rerunning the incantation (i.e. wait until the server finishes _it's_ upgrade)<br>

Digging around I discovered that several xine files were available for<br>
update, including xine-plugin.i386. I tried to install it, but kept<br>
running into the same error: " Metadata file does not match checksum."<br>
This occurred at <a href="http://fedora.omnispring.com" target="_blank">fedora.omnispring.com</a>, and at 12 other mirror<br>
sites, including Gatech, Duke, usc, and <a href="http://iweb.ca" target="_blank">iweb.ca</a>, among others. I killed<br>
the effort as pointless.<br>
<br>
I remain clueless in Oak Grove.<br>
