Resolved; thanks for the various responses.
I ended up scrubbing and rebuilding the repository information and other system
components from the ground up, and re-building the whole thing from the
packetfence.org PDF - which does require hunting down the changed locations of
some repositories anyway; though the PDF says it dates from January 2013 but
the Fedoraproject files have been moved!
I think my other problem was that I tried taking instructions from different
websites, only some of which were accurate or useful.

Subject: [PacketFence-users] Finding the Installer...
I have been round in circles trying to get PacketFence to install, failing each
time at the (almost) final fence: the installation of the package itself.
This is a CentOS 6 system, fully updated, and with all dependencies addressed
so far as I am able at this point.
So far as I can determine from internet resources, I have set up software
repositories correctly, but still, the installation process cannot find the
installer - so either it has been moved, or there is some distant corner of the
galaxy that this system is still not finding. The server is behind firewalls
etc, but I'm not clear why that should be a problem given that I have managed
to find and install everything else.
[also, I have tried different capitalisation of the installer: Packetfence,
packetfence, PacketFence... it is reported differently on various web resources]
Using the command in the following form, with system response:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# yum groupinstall --enablerepo=PacketFence.repo, epel,rpmforge,of
Packetfence-complete

No packages in any requested group available to install or update
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please advise - how are the repositories supposed to be defined, and in what
files would you expect them to be defined? There's clearly something missing
still....
Thank you,
Nick
