yum --enablerepo=epel-testing install python2-boto3
For previous, fix, read below:
yum install --setopt=obsoletes=0 python2-certbot-dns-route53
If you’re here then you want to install python2-certbot-dns-route53 (or anything that depends on python2-boto3) and it fails due to the yum error:
yum install python2-certbot-dns-route53

Error: Package: python2-boto3-1.4.6-1.el7.noarch (epel)
Requires: python2-s3transfer >= 0.1.10
Available: python2-s3transfer-0.1.10-1.el7.noarch (epel)
python2-s3transfer = 0.1.10-1.el7
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The key issue here is:
Package python2-s3transfer is obsoleted by python-s3transfer, but obsoleting package does not provide for requirements
And it has been filed as a bug here. But if you want to resolve this earlier, and be able to install your stuff, you can! Just run:
yum install --setopt=obsoletes=0 python2-certbot-dns-route53
