Description Matthew Miller 2017-10-02 13:33:10 UTC
I just came across someone on a social media site ranting about Fedora being all broken. Turns out they had enabled EPEL 7 on top of Fedora 26.

We can't protect against everything, but it turns out that the epel-release RPM does just install cleanly with no complaints. Could we add "Conflicts: fedora-release" to at least throw up a little barrier to this particular foot-shooting?

Turns out we did this for epel-release-6 a while back, but somehow didn't also do it for epel-release-7. ;( 

Will push out an update today. Thanks!
