Bug 2345168

Description of problem:

Update is blocked as iptables-legacy package requires iptables-libs (specifically version 1.8.10-4.el9), and the update wants to install a newer ( and incompatible version ).

Present version on the system: iptables-legacy-1.8.10-4.1.el9.aarch64
Present version on the system: iptables-libs-1.8.10-4.el9_4.aarch64
Proposed update is iptables-libs-1.8.10-11.el9_5.aarch64 ( released on 2025-02-04 )


How reproducible:

iptables-libs-1.8.10-4.el9_4.aarch64 installed with iptables-legacy-1.8.10-4.1.el9.aarch64.
