Hi,
After successfully updating an i386 installation to 4.3 (from 4.2) using
yum, I tried the same procedure on an x86_64 machine with the following
results:

---> Downloading header for rpmdb-SL to pack into transaction set.
rpmdb-SL-43-0.20060508.x8 100% |=========================| 4.3 kB 00:00
http://xxx.yyy.zzz.ac.uk/linux/scientific/43/x86_64/SL/RPMS/rpmdb-SL-43-0.20060508.x86_64.rpm:
[Errno -1] Header is not complete.
Trying other mirror.

Error: failure: rpmdb-SL-43-0.20060508.x86_64.rpm from sl-base: [Errno
256] No more mirrors to try.

This all preceded by lots of normal, 'good', output.
(xxx.yyy.zzz.ac.uk is just our local mirror with it's name hidden)

Is there a problem here?
