I can try disabling epel but wanted to reach out             here first to see if there's something I am doing wrong             and/or if epel is needed

 >      You need a newer qt5-qtwebkit which is currently in epel-testing --     not yet promoted to epel. Not that Centos 7 just updated from Centos     7.4 to Centos 7.5 which is why Qt is upgrading from 5.6 to 5.9.

I span up a centos VM on 7.5, with epel, epel-testing and nux enabled. qt5 issues are sorted now but just one more failed dependency:

Error: Package: mythtv-libs-29.0-1.el7.nux.x86_64 (nux-dextop)
           Requires: libexiv2.so.12()(64bit)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

closest i can find is libgexiv2 (note the 'g'). Unfortunately I've ran out of time to test and investigate further as i'm away for the weekend now. i've got as far as this url for a bit of info which might explain or contain a fix (not looked at it fully yet): https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3414821
does seem to sugest that nux-dextop needs to update his repo for centos7.5 support where as 7.4 worked fine.
