      Description of problem:

      RHEL8 host has the perl 5.26 module enabled and the perl-DBD-SQLite package installed:

      ~~~
      [root@rhel8 ~]# dnf list installed | grep perl-DBD
      perl-DBD-SQLite.x86_64 1.58-2.module+el8.1.0+2940+f62455ee @rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms

      ~~~

      Once the perl-DBD-SQLite package in installed, Satellite indicates 2 erratas that need to be applied, RHEA-2020:4727 and RHBA-2019:3337. The issue is that RHEA-2020:4727 is for perl 5.30, and RHBA-2019:3337 is for perl 5.24. The host has perl 5.26 module enabled. And if the host tries to install either of those erratas, yum indicates nothing to do:
      ~~~
      [root@rhel8 ~]# yum update --advisory RHEA-2020:4727

      If the perl-DBD-SQLite package is removed, the erratas no longer show as applicable from Satellite UI.

      Both RHEA-2020:4727 and RHBA-2019:3337 return duplicates when I search for them in the filter box under the Content => Errata page. Something like "errata_id=RHBA-2019:3337" will result in 2 entries for RHBA-2019:3337. The 2 results appear identical, except for the applicable host count. When my RHEL8 host has the perl-DBD-SQLite package installed from the perl 5.26 module, 1 of the erratas shows as 0 hosts applicable, while the other shows 1 host applicable. When I remove the perl-DBD-SQLite package, neither of the duplicate erratas shows as applicable. Not sure if this is related, but seems weird. I noticed this same behavior on Satellite 6.9. However, I didn't notice this issue while testing with Satellite 6.8.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      Satellite 6.9
      Satellite 6.10

      How reproducible:
      always

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Clean RHEL8 host registered to Satellite with katello-host-tools installed
      2. Enable perl 5.26 and install perl-DBD-SQLite
      3. View Content Host Applicable Errata from Satellite UI

      Actual results:
      2 erratas RHEA-2020:4727 and RHBA-2019:3337 show as applicable.

      Expected results:
      Neither RHEA-2020:4727 or RHBA-2019:3337 should show as applicable.
