Why Am I Seeing This Error?
When yum installs packages, it references different EPEL mirror repositories depending on where the builder is. If any of your jobs fail in `yum update` or `yum install` with the following error messages when you run parallel jobs, it means a mirror repository is lagging behind the primary. This causes inconsistent versioning,

The solution is to disable the use of the EPEL mirror. You can disable it by uncommenting the baseurl lines and commenting out the mirrorlist lines in/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo.
$ sed -i -e 's/^#baseurl=/baseurl=/' -e 's/^metalink=/#metalink=/' /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
