This will never help. The error very likely means that MM hasn't picked
up that a new repomd.xml has arrived ... but that repomd.xml has hit all
the mirrors. Thus. the only available repodata is invalid.
If you have older cached repodata, then instead of:

It should revert to the old version and continue to work (so clean is
actively harmful here).
Huh. MM should update its database every 15-30 minutes or so, and the
mirrorlist cache every hour. How out-of-date was the returned
repomd.xml?
Thanks,
