Epel doesn't live up to their own standards of not replacing system packages: # yum -d3 update | grep epel --> advancecomp-1.19-1.el7.x86_64 from epel excluded (priority) --> itstool-2.0.2-1.el7.noarch from epel excluded (priority) --> libntlm-1.3-0.6.el7.x86_64 from epel excluded (priority) --> libntlm-devel-1.3-0.6.el7.x86_64 from epel excluded (priority) --> libvncserver-0.9.9-0.9.el7.x86_64 from epel excluded (priority) --> libvncserver-devel-0.9.9-0.9.el7.x86_64 from epel excluded (priority) --> perl-Crypt-PasswdMD5-1.3-0.16.el7.noarch from epel excluded (priority) --> perl-LWP-Protocol-https-6.04-3.el7.noarch from epel excluded (priority) --> perl-Mozilla-CA-20130114-4.el7.noarch from epel excluded (priority) --> python-mako-0.7.3-1.el7.noarch from epel excluded (priority) --> python-webob-1.2.3-8.el7.noarch from epel excluded (priority) # yum list python-webob Installed Packages python-webob.noarch 1.2.3-6.el7 @base And for epel 5 and epel 6 this list is much longer. -Michael
