IIRC, you didn't. I ran into the very same problem several times,
simply, because the folks at Red Hat didn't manage to keep the archive
folders small enough (or so the guy from Red Hat said at the time).

Unfortunately, Red Hat doesn't seem to see the need of maintaining an
archive themselves, which is why an alternative one was set up by
Moongroup (as shown in the other answer in this thread).

Thanks to Moongroup, shame on Red Hat.

Cheerio,

Thomas
