Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: graphviz-stable
[ellson] The repomd.xml file is at:
http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/redhat/el5/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml
For some reason on your machine the $releasever in the graphviz-rhel.repo is getting the value "5Server" instead of just the "5" it was expecting.
I don't know how this variable gets set. Probably the easiest solution is for you to hand edit graphviz-repo.rhel with: s/$releasever/5/
