Just started working again, thank you.
Thanks for the report. Not sure what exactly was wrong, but maybe you downloaded a repomd,xml file during the update process of one mirror and it was referencing files which do not exist any more due to mirrors syncing from the master mirror.
repomd,xml
Some of these types of errors are hard to prevent or also to understand some time later. The mirror system and DNF tries to be resilient to situations like this, but it seems not every combination is yet correctly handled. Anyway, good that it is resolved.
