is epel repository being used

[Marc Fromm]

When I run yum repolist it shows me that epel is enabled:
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
repo id              repo name                                 status
epel                 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 -   enabled
rhel-i386-server-5   None                                      enabled
rhel-i386-server-vt- None                                      enabled
rhn-tools-rhel-i386- None                                      enabled

Any kind of yum activity appears to not use epel
yum search vim
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
rhel-i386-server-vt-5     100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00
rhel-i386-server-5        100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00
rhn-tools-rhel-i386-serve 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00

yum check-update vim
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
rhel-i386-server-vt-5     100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00
rhel-i386-server-5        100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00
rhn-tools-rhel-i386-serve 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00

Should there be an epel 100% entry in the lists above if it was searched for vim?
I know my version of vim is not up to date: vim-common-7.0.109-3.el5.3.
Do I need to reinstall the epel repository?

I would check to see what /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo is saying:

[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/$basearch
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL

I would then do a 'yum clean all; yum list all' and see if items with
EPEL show up

"yum clean all" reports Repository epel-source is listed more than once in the configuration. The epel.repo files only has one epel-source entry, not more than one.

"yum list all" does list epel packages.

When I search or check for a package should there be some notification of using epel? Yum search still only lists the below, with no reference to epel:

yum search vim
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
rhel-i386-server-vt-5     100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00
rhel-i386-server-5        100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00
rhn-tools-rhel-i386-serve 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00

thats' a bug with the rhn plugin. I have no idea why...

Hmmmm I don't use the yum search all that much so it could be that the
RH version locks off what RHN sees and not other repos. I think that
might be why I just brute force it with a 'yum list "vim*"' versus
using search

This might be because EPEL is defined in /etc/yum.repos.d and
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.  I am not certain on that though.
