I believe the servers have just had a big maintenance job, which entailed
rebuilding repo info (or something like that :-) ). That might have affected
you. Meanwhile, you may need to 'yum clean all' and start afresh. I had to,
as it was using outdated metadata.
BTW, I'm curious about this dellsysidplugin2 - I have it on my netbook. So
far I haven't found out anything about it.
