Thank you. I could resolve the issues, by editing stuff in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d There, I created a file rhnplugin.conf with the content [rhel-6-server-extras-rpms] enabled=0 [rhel-6-server-optional-rpms] enabled=0 and I edited the file search-disabled-repos.conf and inserted into the line ignored-repos= ... the pattern rhel* I do not know whether this second step was necessary, I happened to do both at once. After that, yum upgrade no longer demanded rhel repositories.
