[coyotos-dev] [CapROS-devel] Build tools update

This isn't our bug.

It occurred when your execution of yum checked for fedora updates. This
diagnostic can occur if you have the misfortune to hit a server that is
updating as you try it.

The first solution is simply to try again. If that fails, try

	yum clean metadata

and then try again.
