Problem adding yum repositories

[Andrew]

Versions mismatch? The original yum does not use the very same config
file syntax. yum from Freshrpms (yum-2.0.7-3.0.yd.fr as of 07-28-2004)
install the new yum.conf as /etc/yum.conf.rpmnew. Check out your
versions and make sure it use the newest .conf file. Maybe clean up
what's in /var/cache/yum/ too..
