I seem to be bumping into the same problem when trying to upgrade from
RH 8.0 to RH 9. From what I can see, yum doesn't detect/download the
gnome-mime-data package/header of rhl-9-stock. 

ie. doing:  yum list gnome-mime-data

Only shows the installed gnome-mime-data of RH 8.0 but not the one
from the rhl-9-stock repository. 

I also checked the /var/cache/yum/rhl-9-stock/headers directory, and
yum hadn't downloaded the gnome-mime-data header



=== more details:

Tried to download it myself:

# cd /var/cache/yum/rhl-9-stock/headers
# wget
http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/9/i386/headers/gnome-
mime-data-0-2.2.0-1.i386.hdr

but it didn't make any difference. yum list gnome-mime-data still didn't
show it.

# rpm -q yum rpm python rpm-python redhat-release
yum-2.0.4-1
rpm-4.1.1-1.8x
python-2.2.1-17
rpm-python-4.1.1-1.8x
redhat-release-8.0-8

# rpm -Va --nomd5 --nofiles

Gave no output.. so everything is ok.
