[CentOS] Thanks a lot for 8.3 Update

very odd, DNF/YUM should *never* downgrade a package.its possible the mirror it chose to use was lagging on replication and didn' thave the 8.3 latest packages yet (this is a regular issue with the centos mirrors)., but really it should have errored rather than downgrading. On Mon, Dec 7, 2020

[CentOS] CentOS-8(2011): osbuild - missing selinux subpackage?

Briefly, while updating some workstation I came across this. The update to CentOS-8(2011) passes without issues (because best=False). So, I guess that all packages landed at the mirror host - but osbuild-selinux is missing? # LANG=C yum update Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:39 ago on T
