I think so. The core box was checked. I also experimented by checking
several other of the boxes, including core-debuginfo and core-source;
but I continue to get the same error.

I am beginning to suspect that something is corrupted. I considered
removing the offending package, but there are about 18 dependencies. I
guess I could remove them all and just re-install them. But before doing
that I wanted to confirm that the repos are correct.
