The mirror/repository is not a problem for me. I have setup my own on a
machine running Fedora Core 2 on my network. I have updated other
machines running FC1 and 2 from the mirror, and the WEB machine is the
only one that has behaved this way. I saw the problem for about a week
and a half, and not it seems to be gone. Maybe it's not even related to
up2date.
