My previous adobe.repo have been renamed but the new yum-conf-adobe has not been installed and seems to be empty. Thanks for your help. Hello, With SL 5.9 there have been a few changes. The release notes are a good reference but here are the highlights relevant to your questions: - The yum-conf-5x package can now be installed along with yum-conf unlike previous versions of SL5. This is the same behavior as SL6. - You should be ok to disable the sl-security repo so long as you leave sl5x-security enabled. - The closed source java package was not added to SL5.9 as it is going end of life at the end of this month. SL6 has not never featured the closed source package. - The yum-conf-adobe package depends on the adobe-release package provided by adobe. It should have been loaded for you automatically. This seems like you hit a bug. If you install yum-conf-adobe you should be fine. Pat -- Pat Riehecky Scientific Linux Developer

I also noticed that there is no longer [sl-security-jdk] to disable gpgcheck for jdk, is it normal ? Since we have not included jdk , as it is scheduled for End Of Life in February 2013(now), then we do not need the "jdk" repos anymore.
