There is a package that when installed on OL8.5 breaks the yum transactions by the end of the conversion when it tries to replace the installed packages on the system.

• The name of the package is iwl7260-firmware
• It happens in the [Convert: Replace Packages] task.
• The error message that results from this behavior is the following:

Error: Transaction test error:

  file /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm from install of iwl7260-firmware-1:25.30.13.0-104.el8_5.1.noarch conflicts with file from package iwlax2xx-firmware-999:20211203-999.9.1.el8.noarch 

Acceptance Criteria

• Fix the yum transaction to be able to resolve cases like this and not halt the conversion.

Notes

• There is a study to convert those yum calls to use the YUM/DNF API instead of just calling them as subprocesses and letting the package manager handle all the situations. Maybe, it's worth it to try to tackle this issue when this refactoration happens.
