Can't use yum to get rpms

[Sebastian Garcia @gmail]

Hi,

I'm having this same problem (FC4 ; yum v. 2.3.2). 
I'm not a yum expert, but it seems the repository was created with
yum-arch (or other old tool) that doesn't create the .xml metadata
files.

Is there a way to make yum desist looking for these files? 

TIA,

Sebastian.-
