Look at some other machine and check which package provides libelf.so.1. 'locate' helps with that and once you have this information then something like rpm -qf /usr/lib/libelf.so.1 will print what you need to know. That happens to be 'elfutils-libelf'. You can likely find out that even without using some other machine as it is hard to believe that you managed to force somehow a removal of 'elfutils-libelf'. A long list of packages depends on it. Maybe a rerun of 'ldconfig' is all what you need? OTOH you seem to be bumping all that time in "adventures" of that sort. Maybe you should start with rpm -Va >& /var/tmp/system_check and clean up things? 'man rpm' explains how to interpret what will be shown. Once you have 'yum' operational again then use 'package-cleanup' to get your system into some decent state. If you got yourself into such state that even rpm and/or rpm2cpio refuse to work then you can always unpack required packages in a scratch directory on some other Linux installation ('man rpm2cpio') and copy results into the right place.
