When I run yum repolist it shows me that epel is enabled:
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
repo id              repo name                                 status
epel                 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 -   enabled
rhel-i386-server-5   None                                      enabled
rhel-i386-server-vt- None                                      enabled
rhn-tools-rhel-i386- None                                      enabled

Any kind of yum activity appears to not use epel
yum search vim
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
rhel-i386-server-vt-5     100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00
rhel-i386-server-5        100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00
rhn-tools-rhel-i386-serve 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00

yum check-update vim
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
rhel-i386-server-vt-5     100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00
rhel-i386-server-5        100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00
rhn-tools-rhel-i386-serve 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00

Should there be an epel 100% entry in the lists above if it was searched for vim?
I know my version of vim is not up to date: vim-common-7.0.109-3.el5.3.
Do I need to reinstall the epel repository?
