I see on googling that this was a problem with the epel repository.
I'm not sure if I installed the CentOS-7 version by mistake,
while I am currently running CentOS-6.5.
(I'm upgrading to CentOS-7 bit-by-bit, hence the error.)
On running
sudo rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/epel*
I was able to run yum normally.
