Description of problem:

python2-kubernetes 11.0.0-6.el7 depends on python-certifi. This package no longer appears in EPEL, but seems to in the past. (As evidenced by the fact that it appears as a component in this bugzilla!)

This makes it impossible to install python2-kubernetes, and presumably other packages as well. (This is just the dependency that broke for me)

# yum deplist python2-kubernetes
<snip>
package: python2-kubernetes.noarch 1:11.0.0-6.el7
  dependency: PyYAML
   provider: PyYAML.x86_64 3.10-11.el7
  dependency: python(abi) = 2.7
   provider: python.x86_64 2.7.5-90.el7
  dependency: python-certifi
   Unsatisfied dependency
<snip>


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

- python-certifi: unclear version, no longer in repo
- python2-kubernetes: 11.0.0-6.el7

How reproducible: Easy


Steps to Reproduce: On CentOS 7:
1. Install epel-release-7-14.noarch
2. yum install python-certifi, OR
3. yum install python2-kubernetes (as an example)

Actual results:

# yum install python-certifi
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, ovl
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: ewr.edge.kernel.org
 * epel: d2lzkl7pfhq30w.cloudfront.net
 * extras: mirrors.seas.harvard.edu
 * updates: centos.mirror.constant.com
No package python-certifi available.
Error: Nothing to do

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest



Expected results:

Successful package installs.


Additional info:

This was working in CI last week... Did the package get dropped, intentionally or accidentally, recently?
