Which version of Scientific Linux are you using (output of lsb_release -ia) and which version of device-mapper do you have installed (outpuf of rpm -qi device-mapper)?

Experienced a similar error while trying to *update*:

# yum update VirtualBox-5.0

OK. Reason is that Science Linux is still at version 7.1 while RHEL, CentOS and OL at 7.2. Nevertheless I removed the dependency. The latest 5.0.13 el7 test build should install fine. Please confirm.

Fixed in VBox 5.0.14.
