Cloudera Director uses wrong repository path for installing Cloudera Manager

[#1]

Hi, 

I've downloaded Cloudera Director 1.1.3. After configuring the environment for my cluster at AWS I've faced a tricky issue.

Everything went fine until the point of installing Cloudera Manager. Checking the log I've noticed that even though CD has picked the right version for CM (5.4.3) when the package manager tries to download the RPM (I'm using RHEL 6) it tries to use a former version directory (5.3.3), then it fails because the RPM for 5.4.3 is not present there, of course. Has anybody faced such situation? I'm guessing the YUM .repo is the problem. Any hints?

Logs are below.

I've managed to solve the issue by adding the configuration directive below to the cloudera-manager section.
