It seems fine until it decides an XML file is corrupt, prints a complaint
and then goes mad. This time my box seems to have got the XML file entirely
not had a network error half way.
Try feeding yum a corrupt .xml file
I have, It is a set of tests I run on the metadata import, just to see
how it errors out. In every case I've seen it falls over with a raised
exception complaining about a broken file.
what happens when you run xmllint on the same file?
