And another thing: The OP actually stated he was using yumex. I just
double-checked and yumex doesn't have a menu option to clean the
metadata, just one to clean all. So my advice was actually more
tailored to the user, despite my apparent inability to walk and chew
gum at the same time.

Peace all. Have a great mailing list.
