My apologies, the fingers typed faster than the brain  :-P

Firstly, if the ius release rpm was installed successfully, check in
"/etc/yum.repos.d/ius.repo" and see if the resource for [ius] it has the
options "enabled=1"

Once it is enabled, only then yum will start using ius repo..  Either that,
you can keep it disabled and only run yum with "--enablerepo=ius" - eg. "yum
install yum-plugin-replace --enablerepo=ius"

My apologies for mistaking you in having difficulties with installing the
ius/epel release rpms
