G....the below 10 errors indicate that the named files are corrupt.
They need to be redownloaded.

These next 10 are dependancy errors where the named file is needed by the
named package.  Maybe some or all of these dependencies will be resolved
by uncorrupt versions of the above rpm's.

Likely redownloading the corrupt files may fix a lot, or all of the 
problems.  That is if the redownloading actually gets you uncorrupted 
files.
