Hmm, the repository metadata is incorrect. If you look at 
http://macromedia.rediris.es/rpm/repodata/primary.xml.gz it says
<metadata packages="3"> yet there are only two packages listed.

Apparently some versions of createrepo have an off by one error wrt the 
overall package count :-/ Fixed in svn, it now complains and works around 
it by using the observed number of packages instead of reported num of 
packages in case of mismatch.
