[Yum] Bad webserver or package or yum checksum?

I was applying RHEL4 U1 updates on a bunch of machines, and every once
in a while I'd get the below error.  I'd run the yum (2.2.1) command
again, and it would go through.  Could this be a problem with yum, or do
I need to look at my Apache webserver for a root cause?

I have literally 1000s of machines using yum from my webserver without a
hitch like this before... and I've never seen this kind of error

I've run into this error with this comps rpm on a few different RHEL4
boxes I was upgrading, but I run the same command again, and yum 2.2.1
doesn't choke.  Not sure what to make of it.
