Bug 1932228

Description of problem:
Customer wanted to run an IPU to RHEL 8 with Leapp.
After installing leapp with its dependencies (including dnf), using it leads to a python coredump. Yum segfaults too, and DNF is not usable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qa | grep -e leapp -e dnf -e librepo- | grep -v debuginfo
python2-libdnf-0.22.5-2.el7_9.x86_64
leapp-repository-0.13.0-2.el7_9.noarch
dnf-data-4.0.9.2-1.el7_6.noarch
libdnf-0.22.5-2.el7_9.x86_64
dnf-4.0.9.2-1.el7_6.noarch
leapp-deps-0.12.0-1.el7_9.noarch
leapp-repository-deps-0.13.0-2.el7_9.noarch
leapp-0.12.0-1.el7_9.noarch
python2-dnf-4.0.9.2-1.el7_6.noarch
python2-leapp-0.12.0-1.el7_9.noarch
librepo-1.7.16-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a fully updated RHEL 7.9 system
2. Downgrade to librepo-1.7.16-1.el7.x86_64 to match the customer environment
3. Install Leapp (which comes with DNF/libdnf from RHEL 7 extras)

Actual results:
~~~

Segmentation fault

Expected results:
Leapp, Yum and DNF does not crash.

Additional info:
* Filed this bug against libdnf because I don't see an explicit dependency to librepo with the required version, possibly move it to another component if needed.

* Updating the latest librepo thanks to the rpm command fixes the issue.

* Yum is broken because it reads the libdnf python wrapper once it is installed:
