Thanks! This worked perfectly. However, I'm curious. Why did having all those other listings of repositories cause the problem?
I suspect that yum stopped parsing /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo when it encountered the entry that was duplicated in /etc/yum.conf.
Before, when I was trying to install Xine, I ended up having to put all of them in there for it to work.
Should not have to put anything "extra" in /etc/yum.conf if you add the appropriate *.repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ as is currently preferred; although either approach should work as long as you are consistent and avoid duplicate labels. In earlier incarnations of yum there was only /etc/yum.conf and no /etc/yum.repos.d/, so some instructions still show repos being defined there, and some still prefer to follow the old habits.
