Moved: This thread is more suitable in Red Hat and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

I'm having the same issues on RHEL 4 AS, I am trying to update kernel and kernel-devel. May be an issue with RedHat, did you happen to cntrl-c while up2date was running? I've seen that break up2date as well.

I had a vpn session into the server and on the local machine I clicked on an icon..maybe that is related.
I tied updating the kernel, rebooting and running update and the same error appears.

I have submitted a trouble ticket with Red Hat, I will let you know when my issue is resolved.

Hello,

I had the same problem, the cause was a ctrl-c that stopped the up2date process.

I resolved it by removing the faulty file from the /var/spool/up2date folder :

error: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: MD5 digest: BAD Expected(2b15b49e6f9093edbee638f384d00f04) != (dbd1ba8bba16696807bd8955b8531df8)

[root@castor ~]# ls /var/spool/up2date/kdelibs-3.3.1-11.el4.i386.r*
/var/spool/up2date/kdelibs-3.3.1-11.el4.i386.rpm
[root@castor ~]# rm /var/spool/up2date/kdelibs-3.3.1-11.el4.i386.rpm
rm: remove regular file `/var/spool/up2date/kdelibs-3.3.1-11.el4.i386.rpm'? y

The up2date -u command after that worked fine.

I hope this helps you.
