Hello,
I'm having trouble getting security advisories to install on an Oracle Linux 8.6 system.
Here are the steps I'm following and their results.
STEP1: sudo dnf updateinfo --sec-severity Important list
output:
ELSA-2021-1983 Important/Sec. python3-qrcode-5.1-12.module+el8.3.0+7868+2151076c.noarch
ELSA-2021-1983 Important/Sec. python3-qrcode-core-5.1-12.module+el8.3.0+7868+2151076c.noarch
STEP 2: dnf update --advisory ELEA-2022-1983
output:

I have many security advisories listed and I cannot install any of them.
One thing I've discovered is that the file (python3-qrcode-5.1-12.module+el8.3.0+7868+2151076c.noarch), which is an updated version of the python3-qrcodre package is not available in any of my repos. Look at the output of these commands:
Command 1: dnf search --enablerepo=* python3-qrcode-core-5.1-12.module+el8.3.0+7868+2151076c.noarch
output:
No matches found.
Command 2: dnf repoquery python3-qrcode-core --enablerepo=*
output:
python3-qrcode-core-0:5.1-11.module+el8+5193+804ea283.noarch
python3-qrcode-core-0:5.1-12.module+el8.1.0+5408+7a7203ac.noarch
python3-qrcode-core-0:5.1-12.module+el8.2.0+5597+a171068f.noarch
python3-qrcode-core-0:5.1-12.module+el8.3.0+7867+49938b5b.noarch
.
NOTE:
This all started when I noticed that BigFix Security fixlets were failing. Under the hood BigFix is also running dnf commands. Here's the log:
[Tue Aug 2 11:31:02 EDT 2022] Install python3-qrcode-core-5.1-12.module+el8.3.0+7868+2151076c.noarch :

I've been scouring (that's actually an understatement) the internet for a way to resolve this.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
