cobbler-2.0.0-1.fc10.noarch
createrepo-0.9.7-7.fc10.noarch
What is the status of this issue? Is there a trac ticket open for it?
There was an older thread about it too, subject: "Error with RHEL-5.3".
My cobbler server is on Fedora 10 but has a new enough createrepo from the Fedora 10
updates repository that it breaks primary.xml.gz for RHEL and CentOS 5.
primary.xml.gz
| 413 kB 00:00
http://.../cobbler/repo_mirror/CentOS-5.3-x86_64-updates/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno
-3] Error performing checksum
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from CentOS-5.3-x86_64-updates: [Errno 256] No
more mirrors to try.
(hostname removed)
I was dodging this bug while waiting for 2.0 by blocking updates to createrepo. After I
upgraded to cobbler 2.0, I let YUM update my createrepo package and now this bug is back.

Ah, if you only did the -s sha, it would have lost the groups file.
Basically you'll have to modify cobbler's action_import.py or wait until
2.0 is released.
or import on a system running something earlier than F-11.
