Next time please add a remark and do not modify your posts like that. TIA.

I'm assuming he's referring to this bug, which is messing up my few remaining 7.x servers:

did you read the bug referenced by MSmith?

take a deep breath, there's nothing to worry about

Maybe nothing to *worry* about, but I am eager to get my few remaining 7.x servers upgraded to 8.0 and I'm far too lazy to visit each location and throw in the CD

I had similar issues - 'Errno -3' - but solved them with the following three actions.

edited /etc/yum.conf

replaced the line
http_caching=packages
with
http_caching=none
under the [main] section, saved and exited, then ran

yum clean all
followed by
yum check-update
voila - 74mb and 64 packages pending!

( I ran yum check-update before the yum clean all - but got some 'Errno -1' messages, but the clean all sorted them out and everything was tickety-boo again)
