Summary0001524: Yum cache is still problematic
DescriptionWe still see reports of yum caching extremely old data. For example, a customer recently reported a cache that contained data that was at least 4 days old! In 6.5.0, the following parameter was added to yum.conf:

http_caching=packages

There's also the "metadata_expire" (defaults to 6 hours) and "mirrorlist_expire" parameters that might need to be shortened. That still doesn't explain the "4 days old" behavior. Perhaps it's related to skewed clocks at install time?

Confirmed the clock skew.

1) Set metadata_expire=60
2) Run "yum repolist" to grab repo data
3) Set clock back a day
4) Run "yum repolist" after a few minutes... the cache is never purged.
