Hello,

I'm taking 7.4 for a spin.  I did the minimal install, and ran into 
trouble with groupinstall base.  The trouble seems to stem from 
elfutils.  One command claims elfutils-libs-0.166-2.el7.x86_64 is 
missing, and another one claims it's installed.  Not sure what's going 
on here.

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