The repos accessed via http seemed not to be affected until this morning (London GMT) where both rsync and http repos show the same incorrect file. The mirrors I tested against were within Europe and the USA with a few farther afield all returned the same. I have within the last 2 hours connected via http to the ASNET-AM (Academic Scientific Research Computer Network of Armenia) which now shows the correct file. Hopefully should now start to reflect with other mirrors in due course. As an example of what we were seeing go to http://mirrors.200p-sf.sonic.net/scientific/7.2/x86_64/updates/security/. You will see the below. pciutils-libs-3.5.1-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 11-Nov-2008 12:45 147K Now go to http://mirrors.200p-sf.sonic.net/scientific/7.2/x86_64/os/Packages/. You will see the below. p11-kit-trust-0.20.7-3.el7.x86_64.rpm 12-Nov-2008 08:43 14M <——— Notice the file size here pangomm-doc-2.34.0-3.el7.noarch.rpm 12-Nov-2008 08:43 203K Now compare this to ASNET-AM (Academic Scientific Research Computer Network of Armenia) http mirror at http://mirrors.asnet.am/scientific/7x/x86_64/updates/security/. You will see the below. pciutils-libs-3.5.1-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 2016-11-11 21:03 45K And finally http://mirrors.asnet.am/scientific/7x/x86_64/os/Packages/. You will see the below. p11-kit-trust-0.20.7-3.el7.x86_64.rpm 2015-03-09 17:13 125K pangomm-doc-2.34.0-3.el7.noarch.rpm 2014-05-14 17:46 203K Regards, Victor.

On our (rsync) mirror, the 7.2/7.3 files in all cases you mention are actually hardlinked and thus identical. They verify just fine too. Stephan > The http repos appear not to be affected.
