Anybody for help

Try "yum clean all" first and see what you get afterward. Looks to me like your repo file(s) might have been changed for the worse. Check out your repos to see if you have BASE listed more than once. Comment out those but the main centos ones and see if that helps.

This would be the typical yum.conf file

[base]

gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
protect=1

#released updates

(of course you may need to double check depending what version of cent your running...)

Hello,

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?

Thank you!

[Nazzy]

yes, i repaired it but i don't remember how, i stayed a night and googled on other forums until i made it work, it's something with the yum-metadata-parser, sorry
