      When we fail to install the removed packages back to the system during the Rollback: Install removed packages task, it is only reported as a warning and the whole rollback is assumed as successful.

      error: Failed dependencies:
	system-release is needed by kernel-uek-5.4.17-2136.331.7.el7uek.x86_64

      I can see two problems

      1. We advertise a false positive with the rollback state and leave the system in a different state pre and post conversion
      2. We don't capture all failures during the rollback (that might be because when we fail to install the removed packages back it's just a soft WARNING)

      reproducer:

      • Make /etc/os-release immutable chattr +i $(realpath /etc/os-release) on EL7 systems
      • OR install kernel-uek on OL 7

          1.
