<div>Yes, I saw references to that - if you needed your RHEL5 clients to connect to a repo that only had SHA-256 checksums. It isn't required if you use SHA1 - and I should note that other yum commands that don't rely on the updateinfo work fine.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I did try installing python-hashlib, but it didn't have any effect on the updateinfo data being understood correctly by the client (i.e. via yum list-security or yum info-security). And I still don't understand why setting the checksum type equal to "sha" doesn't have any effect on the checksum used for updateinfo, group, and productid.<br>

<div>I discovered that my RHEL5 client wasn't able to utilize the "updateinfo" metadata on my repo (for commands like "yum list-security"), but otherwise the repo seemed to be working OK. I took a look at the repodata and noticed that these data types had <checksum type="sha256">:</div>
<div>group</div>
<div>updateinfo</div>
<div>productid</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>And these had <checksum type="sha">:</div>
<div>filelists</div>
<div>primary</div>
<div>other</div>
<div>filelists_db</div>
<div>primary_db</div>
<div>other_db</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I hadn't specified the checksum-type when I created the repo, so I tried forcing it to sha:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>pulp-admin rpm repo update --repo-id=rhel-5-x86_64-os --checksum-type=sha<br></div>
<div>pulp-admin rpm repo publish run --repo-id=rhel-5-x86_64-os<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>But that didn't change the repomd.xml contents (other than the revision and timestamps). I also tried --checksum-type=sha1 and --checksum-type=sha256, but nothing seemed to have any effect. </div>

<div><br></div>
<div>Are either of these (RHEL5 clients not understanding updateinfo.xml data, and the group/updateinfo/productid always using sha256) expected or known issues?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
