You'd think so, but I'm not sure. According to rsync, I have a correct 
and complete copy of my IAP's mirror. While it's possible that mirror is 
crook, the folk who care for it do update it regularly with rsync. It 
should be okay[1]

Quite possibly, but if so then yum should diagnose it. I'm not referring 
to _this_ run where it crashed, but others where it (apparently) looped.

Well well well.
Well.
It doesn't really explain why the problem has arisen, but it looks like 
the mirror hasn't been updated in a while.

It seems that the source of the files I should mirror while I wasn't 
looking. I've changed that, and it's updating now.

I'm curious as to how I got an apparently corrupt repo though. Yum 
appeared to know what files it should be updating, the update list from 
an official mirror (pacific.net.au) seemed to be much the same.
