Running yum install openssl-devel leads to dependency checking errors and do not install it. I guess there is a problem in my repositories however I don't know what is wrong with my installed version of CentOS (Linux release 7.5.1804) but I usually need to run yum with --skip-broken parmeter. I guess I should set priority for my repositories.

Here is the contents of CentOS-Base.repo

[root@server1 ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

#
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

It seems as if either your RPM DB or YUM are out of sync and/or date with each other or their upstreams.

I'd do the following:

$ sudo yum clean all
$ sudo yum update -y

If things still seem hung up check to make sure you don't have RPMs installed that are from a YUM repo that was out of sync. You'll typically see packages installed multiple times:

$ sudo rpm -qa | grep -i 'dracut'

You'll see 2 items with the same name if this is the case. To resolve it you typically remove it, but this might choose challenging. You could try doing this:

$ sudo yum reinstall <pkg>
