Hi Mark,

Sorry for the delay to answer this...

The problem is not with the dependency 'oniguruma' but with the
dependency on 'libonig.so.2'

If I try this I run into the same issue :

[root@nanperfs01 ~]# yum -y reinstall oniguruma jq
[...]
Error: Package: jq-1.6.10-1.el7.x86_64 (@perfSONAR)
           Requires: libonig.so.2()(64bit)
           Removing: oniguruma-5.9.5-3.el7.x86_64 (@epel)
               libonig.so.2()(64bit)
           Updated By: oniguruma-6.8.2-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
              ~libonig.so.5()(64bit)

=> The updated oniguruma-6.8.2-1.el7.x86_64 from EPEL would
   replace libonig.so.2 by libonig.so.5 which Perfsonar's jq
   does not like... This is what I understand...
