CentOS - Feb 2008 - Is there a fix for the "sqlite cache needs updating" error?

I've been seeing the below message from yum whenever the repo has an  
update (CentOS 5):
> /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron:
>
> ** Message: sqlite cache needs updating, reading in metadata
Googling a bit, it looks like others have seen this happen as well.   
The solutions, when I've found them, have been along the lines of  
"send output to /dev/null" or "edit this file", but nothing
that feels
like the "right" fix.

Is there a general solution to this? Or should we just sit tight for  
redhat bug #429689 to be fixed (5.2?).

this is not really a bug ...

it is just verbose output that causes an e-mail to be sent.

After 24 hours (the last time the script was run) the metadata is 
considered stale and too old to be used, so it is regenerated.  By 
default, the program prints to standard out when it updates it's cache. 
So, you are getting that info in an e-mail as output of cron.

I do not see how this issue is at all related to RH bug 429689 ???

Maybe it is 429869 ?

It seems to be the default, though, and when managing 150+ servers,  
this ends up being a lot of email!

Is there a simple way to flip that message off?

Typo; meant 429869; as Akemi suggested.
