      Missing SMTP protocol support in curl package on UBI9 images without --allowerasing

      Description:
      curl and curl-minimal RPMs from Brew (buildID=3708949) include SMTP support when checked locally, but the curl package installed via dnf on UBI9 base images lacks SMTP protocol support unless installed with --allowerasing. This leads to confusion and extra manual steps.

      Environment:

      UBI9 base image (e.g., registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi:9.5)

      curl RPMs from Brew buildID 3708949

      dnf package manager

      Steps to Reproduce:

      podman run -it registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi:9.5 bash
      
      dnf install -y curl libcurl
      
      curl --version
      

      SMTP protocol support is missing from features.

      dnf install -y --allowerasing curl libcurl
      
      curl --version
      

      SMTP support appears.

      Actual Result:

      curl installed without --allowerasing lacks SMTP support on UBI9.

      The dnf install fails to pull the expected full-featured curl due to package conflicts.

      Expected Result:

      curl package from standard repos should include SMTP support out-of-the-box.

      Installation should not require --allowerasing or manual conflict resolution on UBI9.

      Additional Information:

      Locally downloaded curl and curl-minimal RPMs from Brew (buildID=3708949) show SMTP support with:

      curl --version | grep smtp
      

      Related packages installed on RHEL9 (non-UBI) have SMTP support without issues.

      Using --allowerasing successfully resolves the conflict and enables SMTP support but is unexpected for normal installs.
