Hmmm, an error message should be very good for somebody who is familiar
with the createrepo/Yum code:

         if po.checksum in (None, ""):
            raise MDError, "No Package ID found for package %s, not going to add it" % po
        

I wanted to have a brief look at where that checksum value comes from
(here with F9), but the Yum package objects use self._checksum
instead. That's weird and doesn't make sense to me yet.
