You need a package on rhel5/cent5 for this .. I think it's "python-hashlib"

Hello,

I discovered that my RHEL5 client wasn't able to utilize the "updateinfo" metadata on my repo (for commands like "yum list-security"), but otherwise the repo seemed to be working OK. I took a look at the repodata and noticed that these data types had <checksum type="sha256">:
group
updateinfo
productid

And these had <checksum type="sha">:
filelists
primary
other
filelists_db
primary_db
other_db

I hadn't specified the checksum-type when I created the repo, so I tried forcing it to sha:

pulp-admin rpm repo update --repo-id=rhel-5-x86_64-os --checksum-type=sha
pulp-admin rpm repo publish run --repo-id=rhel-5-x86_64-os

But that didn't change the repomd.xml contents (other than the revision and timestamps). I also tried --checksum-type=sha1 and --checksum-type=sha256, but nothing seemed to have any effect.

This may be related to this open bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=953248

Are either of these (RHEL5 clients not understanding updateinfo.xml data, and the group/updateinfo/productid always using sha256) expected or known issues?

Thanks,
Christina
