Yes, I saw references to that - if you needed your RHEL5 clients to connect to a repo that only had SHA-256 checksums. It isn't required if you use SHA1 - and I should note that other yum commands that don't rely on the updateinfo work fine.
I did try installing python-hashlib, but it didn't have any effect on the updateinfo data being understood correctly by the client (i.e. via yum list-security or yum info-security). And I still don't understand why setting the checksum type equal to "sha" doesn't have any effect on the checksum used for updateinfo, group, and productid.
