Thanks for your response.
I had actually read this section, but evidently do not understand it.
I take it the 66 packages mentioned are in "unofficial" repositories,
in my case rpmforge.repo.rpmnew ?

I did realize that.
But as far as I can see, the effect of the plugin
is to disable all repositories with priority 99,
or indeed with priority > 2 ?
I've presently disabled this plugin,
