Just curious - why are you using the epel, rather than google,
release for centos-7?

The current google repo releases, (which install without any issues
and work well on centos-7) are:

  stable.x86_64    62.0.3202.94-1
  beta.x86_64      63.0.3239.59-1

while the epel one is:

  61.0.3163.100-1

which was the "google stable" release in late september, and is about
five releases back.
