Description
It happened to me more than once that installing a new packages or applying an update from Software Center fails with a yum message like:
[NoMoreMirrorsRepoError] failure: repodata/f4af86579bbc4046548439a431002cd77e159625460b29d54097d90d5d851d9e-filelists.sqlite.bz2 from nethesis-updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
I open the command line, issue a "yum clean all" and retry the Software center install: it succeeds 99% of the times.
So, I'd like to have a button named something like "Clean yum cache", with instruction to click the button and retry.

[I don't exactly know how to reproduce a cache problem condition]
Test case 1
- Tamper with yum cache
find /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/ -name 'repomd.xml' | xargs -- sed -i '/sqlite/ s|repodata/|repodata/xx|'
- Reload Software center page
- The "Clear YUM cache button" should fix the issue
Test case 2
This is not a real test case. I'd rather say it documents the second case where an error might occur.
You must change the code to raise this error condition:
