There are no surviving el5 packages on the system, including in the .repo 
files of yum.repos.d

But if I fire up yumex, well over half the files presented say they are el5 
coming from rpmfusion, but my rpmfusion .repo's are all set for el-6 as can 
be seen by this:

[root at coyote yum.repos.d]# grep el rpmfusion-*.repo

But I don't see anything but el-6 above.  So something is well and truly 
knackered.  The question is what?

Thanks & Cheers, Gene
