.A security DNF upgrade can skip obsoleted packages
The patch for link:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2095764[BZ#2095764], released with the link:https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2022:5816[RHBA-2022:5816] advisory, introduced the following regression: The DNF upgrade using security filters, such as the `--security` option, can skip upgrading obsoleted packages. This issue happens specifically when an installed package is obsoleted by a different available package, and an advisory exists for the available package.
Consequently, `dnf` leaves the obsoleted package in the system, and the security upgrade is not fully performed, potentially leaving the system in a vulnerable state.
To work around this problem, perform the full upgrade without security filters, or, first, verify that there are no obsoleted packages involved in the upgrade process.
