      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      If you try to perform a `dnf update --security` with gstreamer packages installed, to update to 1.22.1 it fails to update because it seems the gstreamer-1-plugins-ugly-free doesn't have a security update (but it shares files with `gstreamer1-plugins-good`

      Workaround: update this package separately first:

      1. yum update gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free
      2. yum update --security

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

        gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free-1.18.4-3.el9.x86_64
