Installed products updated.


This is likely caused by a typo in preuninstall:

    if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then 
          /usr/bin/systemctl --no-reload disable --now watchdog.ping.service || : 
    else 
          /usr/bin/systemctl --no-reload disable watchdog.ping.service || : 
    fi 


The service name is watchdog-ping, not watchdog.ping :

$ rpm -qlp watchdog-5.16-2.el9.x86_64.rpm | grep service
/usr/lib/systemd/system/watchdog-ping.service
/usr/lib/systemd/system/watchdog.service


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
watchdog-5.16-2.el9
