Howdy -- it looks like one of the repositories you have there isn't working any longer.

What happens if you run this command:

grep bravenet /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo

That should help us figure out which one is failing.

It looks like you have two repositories that are no longer working -- elff and elff-testing.

I'm not sure what those are, though they don't appear to be standard CentOS repositories.

You may need to come up with an alternate mirror for those two, but to get everything else up and running in the meantime -- you could disable them by editing /etc/yum.repos.d/elff.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/elff-testing.repo, and setting "enabled=0".

elff-testing.repo already had enabled=0; I disabled elff.repo, then was able to run the package update successfully.

Thanks for the help - you guys are awesome as ever.
