Yes, you could use both repos, however undesirable that might be.

Or you could have simply downloaded the iniparser rpm from the old 
4.1.3-1 repo and done a `yum localinstall ...` of it.

Or you could install the current 4.1.9 build which no longer requires 
the iniparser rpm.

And finally, fwiw, I've copied the iniparser rpm into the 4.1.6-1 repo 
and regenerated the repo metadata.
