[Yum] yum-arch changes the file name

Not ony does yum-arch create compressed headers whereas headers created by
yum not compressed, but yum-arch inserts a number into the filename - after
the package name. For example:
packages/cups-1.1.23-15.4.i386.rpm
headers/cups-1-1.1.23-15.4.i386.hdr
Why? How do i stop this?
(I could script to rename them)

Subject: [Yum] Header generation (for read-only cache)
To: yum at lists.dulug.duke.edu
I wish to have a read only yum cache that is accessed by many machines.
My yum repository is set to file:///var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages.
I populate the "packages directory using wget in mirror mode. I also get the
"repodata" subdirectory.
Now I can use yum directly:
As intended "yum check-update" gets files such as repomd.xml from
/var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/repodata/ and places them in
/var/cache/yum/updates-released/.
A "yum install kernel-2.6.15-xxx.i686" works well and produces a header in
/var/cache/yum/updates-released/headers/.
("file" reports the header type as "data")
I wish to create all headers so that I can run in cache-only mode on
NFS-mounted clients. So I use "/usr/share/yum-cli/pullheaders.py". This
produces the headers in the correct location, but the file type is reported
differently:
headers/cups-1-1.1.23-15.4.i386.hdr: gzip compressed data, was
".newheaders/cups-1-1.1.23-15.4.", max compression
What is my mistake?
