Hello,
During my latest update of one of my servers, I am having a dependency issue:
It appears that the package mongodb-server requires a library that is being removed/obsolete with the install of the package: nodejs-libs
I have had to exclude the nodejs-libs package to perform my update:

I posted to the EPEL mailing list and got this reply:
mongodb-server is probably still in our clearos-epel repo as we do not have a mechanism to clear out packages if they are removed from upstream.
MongoDB was retired from Fedora and epel7 a couple of years ago, due to the license issues.
Thus there is no longer a mongodb-server in epel7.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1855725
Problem:
nodejs had a major update in epel7, and mongodb relies on the v8 in nodejs.
Why the major update?
v8 Security issues.
v8-3.14 (libv8.so.3) hasn't had any official security updates in 6 years.
v8 is the javascript engine for a browser, and as such, needs to be updated constantly because it touches so many things.
It was announced that it was being obsoleted by nodejs, but it was part of the nodejs announcement, so you might not have seen it. We apologize for this.
But in the end, it was no longer safe to be using the old nodejs and the old v8.
Solution:
At this point, we recommend you update your mongodb server from mongodb the company.
It is still free for a majority of use cases.

Hello Nick,
Really really really nice to hear from you again. I hope all is well...
I regards to your question: the server above is currently unavailable for me to do an update. Instead I ran a few cmds on a test vm. This is not an update but an install of mongodb-server showing similar issues with the same above 'nodejs-libs.x86_64' library. Note this time the library is not even installed ... that also can not be right?

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
