This can happen when the directory is not properly mirrored. Expecially using 
the --size-only option cannot be used for mirroring rpm-md repositories.

Another possiblity is that a mirror itsslf is in an inconsistent shape. The 
sometimes  happens to the packman mirrors.

I think no bugreport is neccessarry.
