This is related to the problem at hand how?
The OP has a problem resulting from mixing standard and 3rd party repos, and has noticed some obvious issues.
No, he doesn't. His yum hangs.
Obviously yum hangs.
It hangs because he is improperly mixing 3rd party repos with the standard configuration.
Someone suggested just removing the 3rd repos, and continuing on.
I don't know how long this has been going on:
1) Somewhere along the line an incompatible package from a 3rd party repo could have been installed as a result of his yum configuration.
Just returning to a standard repo config. Will not uniinstall any incompatible packages.
The OP should be alert to this possibility.
It is a difficult problem to diagnose. We do not have good tools for this.
2) Presumably the OP had a valid reason, for mixining standard and 3rd party repos.
yum-priorities is a good, but not perfect tool for mixing repos. Rather than removing all 3rd party repos the OP might want to configure yum-priorities
