Description of problem: Package "rh-sso7-keycloak-server-18.0.6-1.redhat_00001.1.el8sso.noarch" obsoletes some ancient "eap7-wildfly-modules" releases: -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- # rpm -q --obsoletes rh-sso7-keycloak-server-18.0.6-1.redhat_00001.1.el8sso.noarch eap7-wildfly-modules <= 0:7.3 -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- Trying to install both rh-sso7-keycloak-server-18.0.6-1.redhat_00001.1.el8sso.noarch and eap7-wildfly-modules-7.4.10-6.GA_redhat_00002.1.el8eap (*latest, not obsoleted at all*) on the system, the eap7-wildfly-modules-7.4.10-6.GA_redhat_00002.1.el8eap cannot be installed, unless full release is explicitly specified: 1.

From the error, it seems that libsolv wants to downgrade rh-sso7-keycloak-server-18.0.6-1.redhat_00001.1.el8sso.noarch to rh-sso7-keycloak-server-18.0.0-2.redhat_00001.1.el8sso.noarch. Note that rh-sso7-keycloak-server-18.0.0-2.redhat_00001.1.el8sso.noarch (old package) has a "wider obsolete" since it's obsoletes "eap7-wildfly-modules" completely: -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- # rpm -q --obsoletes -p ./rh-sso7-keycloak-server-18.0.0-2.redhat_00001.1.el8sso.noarch.rpm eap7-wildfly-modules -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- It looks like this is exact root cause, at least excluding the package works: -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- # yum update --exclude=rh-sso7-keycloak-server-18.0.0-2.redhat_00001.1.el8sso [...] Nothing to do. Complete! -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- If that's the real root cause, then this package has to be entirely removed from our repository since it can be considered as broken.
May I ask you from which repository is the package. I am unable to find it. If the issue is caused by incorrect packaging I would suggest to change the component for the package or to distribution.
As found in Package Browser, package rh-sso7-keycloak-server-18.0.0-2.redhat_00001.1.el8sso.noarch comes from rh-sso-7.6-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
