RPMForge update problems March 5th, 2008
If you're using http://rpmforge.net/ or Dag RPM packages you might have noticed there seem to be some problems with the mirrors. A quick snoop on the mailing-list shows us the reason from Dag himself:
HEAnet is having problems again. For some reason they still offer files (repoview) that have been removed a few weeks back. And for some reason they did update the metadata but not the packages (which cannot happen if the update process was using --delay-updates). And that is in this case the result of yum trying to update packages that are not available (while they should have). I think they once again have major NFS problems. But, I have no access to that system and that system is used by all the other mirrors. So we are basicly doomed... until it gets fixed.
