I just noticed that some of my Scientific Linux servers appear to have
duplicate Yum .repo under /etc/yum.repos.d/ :

```
[root@ hostb yum.repos.d]# pwd
/etc/yum.repos.d
[root@ hostb yum.repos.d]# ls -ld sl*repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1837 Feb 20  2012 sl6x.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1209 Feb  6 16:11 sl-other.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1014 Feb  6 16:11 sl.repo
[root@ hostb yum.repos.d]#
```

Should my systems have both `sl.repo` and `sl6x.repo`, or will these
conflict with each other?

I don't understand why the file sl6x.repo was installed at all, but it
appears that both sl-release & yum-conf-sl6x were installed at install
time, possibly as part of the @Base or the @Core group.

[root@staffdb02 yum.repos.d]# rpm -q --file /etc/yum.repos.d/sl6x.repo
yum-conf-sl6x-1-2.noarch
[root@staffdb02 yum.repos.d]# rpm -q --file /etc/yum.repos.d/sl.repo
sl-release-6.5-1.x86_64
[root@staffdb02 yum.repos.d]#


Thank you,
