[Yum] RPM directory of hard links

[Murali Potla]

Hi,

I have put up a repository for apt and yum on my lan. 
I have made hard links for the all the rpm files under the RPMS
directory. 
When i am generating headers for these RPMS (which are hard linked to
the original files) I am getting a bunch of warning messages like 
dupe pkg: os/noarch/squirrelmail-1.2.11-1.noarch.rpm

My directory structure is like this 
updates ---> RPMS (hard links to the files under os/i*86)
	     headers
	     os ---> i386        (real RPMS exist here)
		     i686
		     noarch	 	


even -l will not remove these messages 
I am using Red Hat 8.0, rpm 4.1.1, yum-2.0-2 on the repository server.
What shall i do now ?
