[cobbler] Problem Doing 'cobbler reposync' : apparently damaged repomd.xml file
Greetings all,
I am having a problem when I use cobbler 2.4.0 builtfrom the latest 'git
pull'. Here is the version information:
[root@cobbler1 .origin]# cobbler --version
Cobbler 2.4.0
source: 096fc17, Sat May 25 12:34:39 2013 -0500
build time: Sat May 25 13:50:50 2013
The problem began yesterday (May 24) after an earlier 'git pull', 'make
webtest'. It has been a long time since I've worked with cobbler -- but
yesterday I wanted to see about installing a distro to another computer.
I reasoned I had better get my cobbler repos up to date and synced.
My attempts to 'cobbler reposync' fail.
I did another 'git pull'and 'make webtest' just now. This is my latest
error output from 'cobbler reposync':

When I look at the file that reposync is complaining about, it has a
length of zero bytes:
[root@cobbler1 .origin]# ls -al
total 12
drwxr-xr-x. 2 apache apache 4096 Jul 3 2012 .
drwxr-xr-x. 7 apache apache 4096 Jan 16 17:15 ..
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 apache apache 161 May 25 13:57 f17-x86_64-everything.repo
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 apache apache 0 May 25 13:57 repomd.xml
How doI fix the damaged repomd.xml file?
Thanks a lot!
