ls  /etc/yum.repos.d

shows the following files

epel.repo, epel-testing.repo, mirrors-rpmforge, mirrors-rpmforge-extras,  mirrors-rpmforge-testing , rhel-source.repo, rpmforge.repo, temp_epel-erlang.repo

I opened repoforge.repo and this is what I found:

### Name: RPMforge RPM Repository for RHEL 7 - dag

### URL: http://rpmforge.net/

[rpmforge]

name = RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - dag

baseurl = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/$basearch/rpmforge

enabled = 0

protect = 0

gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag

gpgcheck = 1

All sections have enabled set to 0.

Tried yum install erlang again, no luck. Same errors as before.

Thanks,

Mhn..

Seems the command is incorrect...still pull in repoforge pkgs.

Do you have anything important installed from repoforge? If not you can disable repo by editing /etc/yum.repos.d/ (I'm sorry I don't know its name now since we've used EPEL for years, but I think it's easy to find rf's repo file by name), in the repo file set enable=0.

And try again...
