CentOS - Sep 2017 - Update from 7.3 to 7.4 failing because of architecture change from PPC64 to PPC

Yep. This worked. Thanks!
Why yum can't figure this out itself?

yum currently has issues with obsoletes .. especially when something
like a noarch file gets obsoleted by an $arch type rpm and there are 2
(multi) arches available to replace it.  It pulls in BOTH, not just the
one arch you have installed .. and that then pulls in deps for the 2nd
arch that you don't currently have.

Hopefully they will fix this.

There is an option called multilib_policy BUT that does not work with
obsoletes, only updates.

Because of this , I put

exclude=*.i686

in my x86_64 installs that I am sure I do not need 32 bit packages on.
