You now have a mixed set of packages; I warned you about that.  I don't 
think you need to remove the other repos, but you ought to try disabling 
them during the installation process.  Todd's script looks as if it will 
do that - although you might now need to reinstall rather than upgrade - 
but other conflicts may emerge.  I shall probably be working with 
variants of that script to reconfigure my Fedora box, but my experience 
of mixing these repos is limited.
