Obsoleting Packages in 'dnf check-update' on RHEL 8.6 hosts
by Scott Worthington
Hello,
My 4.5.1.3-1.el8 oVirt homelab cluster is running on RHEL 8.6 hosts and a
RHEL 8.6 stand-alone engine.
During the installation, I followed the instructions for RHEL 8.6:
https://ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html
After the installation is complete, all packages are up-to-date, and
everything is running, I run a 'dnf check-upgrade' and I find there are
two packages that are listed under "Obsoleting Packages":

For the hosts, it makes it appear that the hosts always have an upgrade
pending in the oVirt Engine UI.
"centos-strea-release.noarch" appears to contain similar files to the
original RHEL 8.6 package "redhat-release-8.6.0.1.el8" except for the
addition of "centos*" named files.
Any thoughts on how to change this behavior so that it doesn't appear to
have packages to upgrade because a 'dnf update' does nothing to these
"Obsoleting Packages"?
Thanks in advance.
