 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


Expected results:
package dkms to be installed.

Additional info:
Seems that no compatible dkms package is available currently at EPEL for 
RHEL 7.6 Beta.

Forcing installation with rpm for the specific dkms .rpm package avoiding dependency checks works.
