[ale] kde question

[Jim Kinney]

rpm -qa | grep epel  #show what is installed
remove the existing epel with
yum remove <what you found from above>
yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-relea
se-7-5.noarch.rpm
NOTE: I don't see konquerer in the repo at all so this all might be
moot. Thunderbird?
