Yes, I battled with this exact same problem earlier in the week -
machine crashed halfway through the big update leaving things in a very
inconsistent state (lots of dupes, some library files zero length -
which was fun). Took me about 12 hours in total to sort out - I was
that close to just re-installing.
For glibc problem, can you do
yum erase glibc-2.17-222.el7.i686
there shouldn't be any serious dependencies on the .i686 version. If
there are, just make a note and reinstall them later.
"package-cleanup --cleandupes" helped sort out some of the issues and
with the remaining few it was a case of manually removing the specific
versions and reinstalling what dependencies there were.
Once most of the issues were done, I then did a 'yum distrosync" (or
whatever it's called) to make sure packages were correct.
I still had problems with zero length files in some places, so I
installed yum-verify and ran 'yum verify' to show packages that were
inconsistent - there were lots. To get a list of them I did
yum verify > yum.verify.out
grep ' : ' yum.verify.out
The 'yum verify' takes a looong time, so be patient.
