As I wrote before, "If the file exists before the Puppet run, then
Puppet will not split it up." Perhaps I should have been more
specific: in that case, Puppet will work fine with the file containing
multiple repo declarations. It will successfully manage all the
repositories defined in such a file, and it will keep them together in
that file. This has worked since at least 0.24.8.
What Puppet does not like is the same repo being defined in more than
one file, and perhaps that's what you've run into. Yum supposedly
accepts duplicates, so that might contribute to the appearance that
the problem is with Puppet. As far as i can tell, however, Yum's
*treatment* of duplicates is undocumented, so I cannot fault Puppet
for objecting.

I'm glad you've sorted it out.
