(FIXED) YUM reporting "Update notice RHBA-2017:0397 (from rhel-7-server-rpms) is broken, or a bad duplicate, skipping."
This is on an RHEL7 system. This message started getting reported by the YUM check-update cron job a few days ago. A search via Google came across an older Red Hat KB article that recommended performing a "yum clean all" and then retrying the update check. I tried all of this and it still returns this error.
Anyone else seeing this? I cannot report this to support myself as all of our systems are on self-support entitlements.
I'm hoping others have reported this already and it will be resolved sooner than later.
EDIT: Just wanted to add that I applied all of the pending yum, rhn, and rpm updates on this system and I'm still seeing this message.

I am not certain, but it looks like that errata update was published to the optional repo and the original was published to the main repo. With both enabled they conflict.

Update notice RHBA-2017:0397 (from rhel-7-server-rpms) is broken, or a bad duplicate, skipping.
You should report this problem to the owner of the rhel-7-server-rpms repository.
This would seem to be an error in the repo metadata on Red Hat's end. During testing it cleared up, so it seems it was discovered and corrected (or 'yum clean all' fixed after a few tries).
