I have seen a similar issue using 'yum check-update' on Ubunty Trusty
with libxml2=2.9.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu4.8 failing to parse the primary.xml.gz
index.
$ yum check-update

I have seen this a few times, but never took the time to dig into it
until recently. What I found was the size of the primary.xml.gz file is
what seems to be causing the failure. If (size of file in bytes)/(8192
bytes) has a remainder of 1 byte this failure will occur. Basically, in
the case of "yum check-update", if the last read (that returns more than
0 bytes) on the primary.xml.gz file ONLY contains a single null
character it fails.
strace excerpt (with the primary.xml.gz as fd 5):
read(5, "\0", 8192) = 1
read(5, "", 8191) = 0
After the above it fails immediately.
Updating libxml2 to v2.9.3+dfsg1-1ubuntu0.2 from the Ubuntu Xenial repos
seems to fix the problem, but that is not an acceptable solution in my
case because the Xenial package brings in some other dependencies that I
cannot update to.
Any chance someone could fix this issue for Ubuntu Trusty?
