Hey all,
I’ve got a number of AlmaLinux server installs and, on every one of them for the past few weeks, I’ve had security updates reported but which never install.
Here’s an example machine:
~]$ sudo dnf updateinfo list security all

Choosing to install only security updates (or all updates) result in the available updates never installing:
~]$ sudo dnf update --security

Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
The packages in question are installed and would appear (versioning-wise) to need updating:
~]$ sudo dnf list installed | grep 'libserf'
libserf.x86_64 1.3.9-9.module_el8.6.0+2897+d2f1747f @appstream
~]$ sudo dnf list installed | grep 'utf8proc'
utf8proc.x86_64 2.1.1-5.module_el8.6.0+2897+d2f1747f @appstream
Any pointers on this? Should I uninstall and reinstall the packages?
Thanks in advance!
