I ran into the same thing yesterday, however, I have never explicitly
installed rdma-core. I wonder what pulled it in on both x86_64 and i686?
My system had rdma_core x86_64 only. I dnf removed it. If it had been
installed as a dependency that should have appeared. The system started
with Fedora 29, so might have been installed some time ago.
