[chef] Re: package[yum-allowdowngrade] exception

[Paul Graydon < >]

This quoted section is the most relevant.  Yum has returned an error to 
Chef telling it that it can't find a valid baseurl for the repository.

If you look in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo you should see a line like:

baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch

On my systems that's actually commented out and mirrorlist is being used 
by preference:
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch

I'd suggest double checking on the box itself and seeing if "yum update" 
will work or if it throws back the same error.

Did you install epel using Chef or one of it's cookbooks?
