[root@new-host ~]# yum erase ezrepos
Loading "protectbase" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Config Error: File contains no section headers.
file: file://///etc/yum.repos.d/yelodog-base.repo, line: 1

I'm obviously a beginnner. Looks like I made a typo, and now I get the above error.
How do I fix this. Assume I know nothing, you'll be close to the truth.

Thanks
