Recently "yum check-update" and "yum update" has

that other occurrences have been caused by network connectivity errors
or miss configured yum repository locations. I am convinced that in my
case it is yum 2.2's inability to successfully download files through a
HTTP proxy that is the problem. To work around the problem I
reinstalled yum 2.1 and upgrade using "yum --exclude=yum update".
yum 2.2 provides a way to specify the proxy globally or separately for
each repo if required (see "man yum.conf"). Did you try that?
