[CentOS] Update from 7.3 to 7.4 failing because of architecture change from PPC64 to PPC

[Johnny Hughes]

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.
