Workaround

1. Access the server's command line as the 'root' user via SSH or "Terminal" in WHM.
2. Remove the els-define package.

   yum remove els-define

3. Remove the centos-els-release package.

   rpm -e --justdb --nodeps centos-els-release

4. Remove the ELS token.

   rm -rf /etc/yum/vars/elstoken

5. Disable the CentOS ELS repos.

   yum-config-manager --disable centos7-els*

   yum-config-manager --disable centos7els*

6. Remove the CentOS ELS repo file.

   rm /etc/yum.repos.d/centos7-els.repo

7. Clear the YUM cache.

   yum clean all 

   yum clean metadata 

   rm -rf /var/cache/yum/* 

8. Rebuild the YUM cache.

9. Reinstall the packages that were installed from the ELS repos.
