Unable to use the the --skip_repo_package=1 option

[#1]

Hi,

I have a local repository pointing to which I want to do the CM5 installation.

I have created the local.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d and given the repo path there (and it is accessible).

I execute the command ./cloudera-manager-installer.bin --skip_repo_package=1 to install cloudera manager from the local repo.

But in the cloudera manager, when I procedd with the installation, the installation fails as a new cloudera-manager.repo file is created in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory everytime and it is pointing to the archive.cloudera.com site.

Hence my installation is failing with the below message. Please help to solve this.

Repository cloudera-manager is listed more than once in the configuration 
http://archive.cloudera.com/cm5/redhat/6/x86_64/cm/5.2.0/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for cloudera-manager: Damaged repomd.xml file 
Trying other mirror. 
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: cloudera-manager. Please verify its path and try again

It might be easier to just install the packages yourself. See Path B documentation here:
