I have seem some occasional odd failures coming from the "dnf -y update" done by elements/base/install.d/00-up-to-date. dnf seems to sometimes think a package is not installed when it really is. It then seems to try and re-install them, but notices they are installed, and then bails with a failure exit [1]. The packages that seem to cause this vary, but the common thread is that they seem to have all been installed during the initial phase of installing the package manager in the chroot. I suspect that when we are building the chroot, we do our initial install with the "external" yum & rpm. Then we start using the dnf/yum in the chroot, but we're actually using meta-data created by the *external* tools -- which could be vastly different versions or who-knows-what. While I honestly I don't have an exact root cause, empirically I've found rebuilding the rpm db always seems to fix things up. So this change takes care to rebuild the rpm db with the chroot version of rpm, and clear out the package metadata for a refresh with "update". This should hopefully put us in a consistent state.

=========== yum-minimal =========== Base element for creating minimal yum-based images. This element is incomplete by itself, you'll want to use the centos-minimal or fedora-minimal elements to get an actual base image. Use of this element will require 'yum' and 'yum-utils' to be installed on Ubuntu and Debian. Nothing additional is needed on Fedora or CentOS. The `DIB_OFFLINE` or more specific `DIB_YUMCHROOT_USE_CACHE` variables can be set to prefer the use of a pre-cached root filesystem tarball. If you wish to have DHCP networking setup for eth0 & eth1 via /etc/sysconfig/network-config scripts/ifcfg-eth[0|1], set the environment variable `DIB_YUM_MINIMAL_CREATE_INTERFACES` to `1`.
