Hi Ranbir,

as you said this could be a list of deps not yet released. If your 
machine is a "testing machine" you can try to enable epel-testing and 
epel-playground and check if those deps are in those supplementary 
repos. Caution because they are testing repos so if you need to use on 
production wait releases.

Hope that helps.
