I've not used yumex before, so I tried to load it and found the same
issue.
I tracked it down to the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ -- it seems that
though the names of the script files look fine:
[james@mysterion yum.repos.d]$ ls
atrpms.repo flash.repo sl4x-fastbugs.repo sl-rhaps.repo
dag.repo sl4x-contrib.repo sl4x.repo sl-testing.repo
dries.repo sl4x-errata.repo sl-bugfix-45.repo
If you use less on the sl4x configuration files the name of all the
repos is "SL 4 BASE", which yum doesn't like. I used vi and changed the
names of the repos to reflect the name in the ls ( so "SL 4 contrib",
"SL 4 errata" etc) and everything started working fine.
Be aware that yum tries to pull down an update that will change
everything back to the broken version, so you might need to keep track
of that.
