There are no such references in the epel-release package. Have you
downloaded the package over HTTPS? Can you post the output of:
rpm -V epel-release
rpm -qi epel-release
and the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo ?

There are no such references in the epel-release package. Have you

downloaded the package over HTTPS? Can you post the output of:

rpm -V epel-release

rpm -qi epel-release

and the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo ?

This would have been a change made by the user before installing 
epel-release, or possibly it came from some panel software, or a VPS 
vendor or ... who knows, but crazy things get done by prior admins, 
clueless vendors, etc.
