      .The `cockpit` RHEL system role installs all `cockpit`-related packages that match a wildcard pattern

      Previously, the `dnf` module used through the `cockpit` RHEL system role did not install all `cockpit`-related packages. As a consequence, some requested packages were not installed. With this update, the source code of the `cockpit` RHEL system role was changed to use the `dnf` module directly with an asterisk wildcard package name and a list of packages to exclude. As a result, the role correctly installs all requested packages that match the wildcard pattern.

      The cockpit role __cockpit_packages_full package set tries to install cockpit-. This isn't working in the latest el9. Might be an issue with the latest dnf module or the python libraries it uses. Note that doing dnf install cockpit- works as expected - it's just the dnf module isn't working.

      I think we're going to have to use something like dnf search cockpit- to get the full list of packages to install. Or, alternately - if we see cockpit- in the list of packages, remove it and use command: dnf y install cockpit* - the problem with that is - how to make it idempotent? Maybe dnf returns a special code if it didn't actually install anything.
