what happens if you try a "yum clean all && yum clean metadata" first?

Hello,

Using Firefox 3.0 i couldn't see these missing packages in the
repository on following mirrors:

http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/ ...
http://fr2.rpmfind.net/ ...
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/ ..

But finally i found the packages on the mirror:

http://mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/

as listed on:

https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Mirrors

So i downloaded them:

wget
http://mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/mirror/dag/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.023-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
wget
http://mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/mirror/dag/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/syslinux-3.84-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
wget
http://mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/mirror/dag/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/lftp-4.0.5-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

and did a local install:

yum localinstall --nogpgcheck perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.023-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
yum localinstall --nogpgcheck syslinux-3.84-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
yum localinstall --nogpgcheck lftp-4.0.5-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

After that "yum update" performed without any problems.

Do i have to change "my mirror list", or was that a problem with the
main mirror?


cheers
