A change to qpid's packaging was pushed to EPEL7 recently, and it may cause problems for pulp users. We are working with the qpid team on a fix, but for now, here is a summary of what changed and how to work around it.
TL;DR if you see anything complain that "qpidtoollibs" is missing, run "yum install qpid-tools" and restart pulp.
Between versions 0.28-27 and 0.28-28 of python-qpid-qmf in EPEL7, a python library pulp uses was removed. It was added to the qpid-tools RPM, but because pulp does not depend on the qpid-tools package, many pulp users don't have it installed. Thus if you "yum update" right now, you may end up with a missing library. The workaround is to also install the qpid-tools RPM.
The proposed solution is that the qpid team will make the python-qpid-qmf package require the qpid-tools package, and hopefully that change will roll out in a day or two.
Sorry for the distraction.
