I think your posting is off-topic for this list. 
users at lists.fedoraproject.org would have been the correct one.

Wrt. your issue: AFAIC, you seem to have mixed epel7 with fedora. This 
is not supposed to work, which means your system likely is quite messed up.

You can try to disable all epel-repos and cleanup your installation, 
using "yum distro-sync", "package-cleanup --orphans" and the like, 
aiming at removing all epel packages and to sync with fedora.
