[ovirt-users] Re: dnf update fails with oVirt 4.4 on centos 8 stream due to ansible package conflicts.

I had to add --allowerasing to my dnf update command to get it to go through (which it did, cleanly removing the old ansible package and replacing it with ansible-core). I suspect that the new ansible-core package doesn't properly obsolete the older ansible package. Trying to Upgrade hosts from the Admin portal would fail because of this requirement. As a side note, my systems hadn't been updated since before the mirrors for Centos 8 packages went away, so all updates failed due to failure downloading mirrorlists. I had to do this first, to get the updated repo files pointing to Centos 8 Stream packages: dnf update --disablerepo ovirt-4.4-* ovirt-realease44 -- Jillian Morgan (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️ Systems & Networking Specialist Primordial Software Group & I.T.

That's when I first noticed the issue, but I it might be older. When the eariler issues with the centos 8 deprecation happened, I had swapped out the repos on some of these hosts for the new ones, and have since added new hosts as well, using the updated repos. Both hosts that had been moved from the old repos, and ones created with the new repos are experienceing this issue. ansible-core is being pulled from the centos 8 stream AppStream repo, and the ansible package that cockpit-ovirt-dashboard.noarch is trying to use as a dependency is comming from ovirt-4.4-centos-ovirt44 I'm tempted to blacklist ansible-core in my dnf conf, but that seems like a hacky work-around and not the actual fix here.
