My issue had been that the HTTP proxy cache had stale content (in that
repodata had been updated at archive.linux.duke.edu but was not yet
reflected in the squid cache).

Two options, one or both of which worked for me (I can't remember at this
point):
        * Bypass the proxy and go directly to the repo.  (If that is a 
networking
possibility, anyway).
        * Force a restart of the squid proxy (as the best (only?) way of forcing
a full cleaning of its cache)

FWIW,

Andy or anyone,

What did you do to clear the problem?  Did it clear up by virtue the stale
mirror(s) eventually catching up?  Or did you change the URL you were
using for the repository?

I found I had the same problem today and changed the URL to point to
dl.fedora.org instead of download.fedora.org and got it to work.   I'm
sure in the long run it would be better to switch it back to the one that
points to the mirrors.

That appears to have been the issue.

Many thanks!

Is it possible you use a caching HTTP proxy (possibly a transparent
one) that gives you the stale data?

If you do

        GET 
'http://archive.linux.duke.edu/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml'
| grep primary.sqlite

do you see the correct content?
