Returning to this thread after a considerable break (I'm sorry, I've 
really been quite unwell) here is the output of 'rpm -q --filesbypkg 
epel-release' & the directory listing itself:

'$ rpm -q --filesbypkg epel-release
epel-release              /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
epel-release              /etc/rpm/macros.ghc-srpm
epel-release              /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-testing.repo
epel-release              /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
epel-release              /usr/share/doc/epel-release-6
epel-release              /usr/share/doc/epel-release-6/GPL
[Sat Jan 25 20:45:24 phil@localhost:~ ] $ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[Sat Jan 25 20:45:43 phil@localhost:/etc/yum.repos.d ] $ l
./   CentOS-Base.repo       CentOS-Media.repo  mirrors-rpmforge 
mirrors-rpmforge-testing
../  CentOS-Debuginfo.repo  CentOS-Vault.repo  mirrors-rpmforge-extras 
rpmforge.repo'

It's the same deal with 'yum list epel-*' That also reckons it's installed.

I'm flummoxed as to how to proceed.

Cheers,

   Phil...
