Hi David,

this works fine for me. Many thanks.

One risk with this is that you do not see security updates from EPEL for 
packages already installed.

Another option is to use the “exclude” keyword in the .repo configuration file 
to blacklist things:

[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7
exclude=something* anotherthing* thirdthing*

I ran into the same problem, and what I did was an “rpm -e —nodeps” on the 
netdata packages first, then added the “exclude” line, then re-attempted the 
update. In the future “netdata*” will no longer be pulled in from EPEL.

Disable EPEL repo anytime on a PF server and enable it only when necessary.
