That makes sense.

However, the yum update now spits out error:

** Found 381 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s)

Error: Package: systemd-219-30.el7_3.9.x86_64 (@updates)

and numerous lines like this one:
yum-plugin-fastestmirror-1.1.31-42.el7.noarch is a duplicate with 
yum-plugin-fastestmirror-1.1.31-40.el7.noarch

Yum suggest::
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Would that be ok?

Kind regards
