[LON-CAPA-admin] Fwd: psutils on Redhat 8.7 - version conflicts with epel and LONCAPA-prerequisites

Donald,

To resolve this conflict you could add this line:

exclude=psutils

to the [epel] section in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo

Subject: [LON-CAPA-admin] Fwd: psutils on Redhat 8.7 - version conflicts        with epel and LONCAPA-prerequisites

Hi,

I'm wondering if others have encountered this yet.  This is a fresh RH 8.7 install and
I thought everything was updated.

When I run dnf upgrade it complains about psutils version:

# dnf upgrade
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Last metadata expiration check: 0:10:43 ago on Thu 15 Dec 2022 09:50:43 AM AST.
Error:
 Problem: package LONCAPA-prerequisites-1-26.1.rhel8.noarch requires psutils <= 1.23, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install both psutils-2.05-1.el8.noarch and psutils-1.23-13.el8.x86_64
  - cannot install both psutils-1.23-13.el8.x86_64 and psutils-2.05-1.el8.noarch
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package psutils-1.23-13.el8.x86_64
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package LONCAPA-prerequisites-1-26.1.rhel8.noarch
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

When I check for updates available I see this:

# dnf check-update
Updating Subscription Management repositories.

libsolv.x86_64                                            0.7.20-4.el8_7                       rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms
psutils.noarch                                            2.05-1.el8                                                 epel

I'm not sure how to best resolve the conflict between the two repos.
