Hi,

The error is fixed. just want to share results. After google i got below results and it feels its done.

The server is on centos 6 and createrepo is using a hash that centos 5 does not understand by default. I fixed the problem now (createrepo -d -s sha1). If you still have an error try: “yum clean all"
