This could the libdb/glibc problem. Try running "rm
/var/lib/rpm/__*"
and then "rpm --rebuilddb" and see if that fixes it.
On F26 as soon as I sent my OP I rebooted, did dnf clean all, rpm --rebuilddb,
dnf update, dnf distro-sync, then shut down and went to bed. Distro-sync did
nothing but remove 225 packages.
I did similar with F25, but don't remember particulars other than it reacted
differently to a similar sequence of events, most of which are in my OP.
