After looking at the recommended web site, I did the uninstall, and then ran:

It seems that there may be another step.

You do need to set up elrepo if you have not used it before. Instructions are here:

You will probably also want to install the yum priorities plugin to avoid conflicts between elrepo and the base repos (or any other third-party repos you may use).
