 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I tried the two suggesting above to no avail.  Has anyone else been able to
install glib-devel.i686 successfully on CentOS 7?

?It is actually ?glibc-devel-2.17-157.el7_3.5.i686. So you either provide
the whole name or just use glibc-devel.i686 for the yum command.

Thanks Akemi, that worked.  I had done a ?yum search? and just cut & pasted
from the output, but leaving out the version number is much easier.
