      Opening this bug as recommended by Tomas in bug# 1992406

      Issue : Insight shows patches available on system that already has the patches installed if IP Obfuscation is enabled in the config.

      obfuscated IP
      10.230.230.2

      See the version installed is current, but it is being rename using the IP address, so then it thinks the current version is not installed.

      1. rpm -q iwl1000-firmware
        iwl1000-firmware-39.31.5.1-80.el7_9.noarch

      See the 10.230.230 name is not the real name of the package, but the IP address.

      Name Installed version Latest version
      iwl1000-firmware 1:10.230.230.4-80.el7_9.noarch 1:39.31.5.1-80.el7_9.noarch

      It turns out that the firmware version and IP addresses are close and that the:

      1. Obfuscate IP addresses
        obfuscate=True

      Seems to be causing the problem with firmware updates.
      If we change the obfuscate=False then the updates go away, since the package name no longer has the IP address.

      This issue can be consistently replicated on both RHEL 7 and RHEL 8 nodes.
