In my case, I was actually doing an install from an hdd copy of the
files from a DVD over a network using http. Various other experiments
eventually proved the DVD to be a 'bad' copy but remaking the index on
(hard) disk solved the problem.
Thinking back, this has happened to me a few times since yum became
mainstream - and has always been 'fixed' by remaking the repo index.
