Description of problem: Content-views filters for RHEL 8 module streams fail between RHEL 8.8 and 8.9 creating perl module conflicts that cause DNF critical errors. RHEL 8 Satellite clients can not update using published content-views.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): satellite-6.11.5.6-1.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible: 100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Build RHEL 8 Content-Views on a RHEL 7 Red Hat Satellite 6.11.5.x using vanilla Red Hat content for RHEL 8 (baseos and appstream).

2) Create three content-view filters for your RHEL 8 content-view:

a) Include RPM filter (check -include all rpms without errata).
b) Include Errata By Date filter.
c) Include Module Stream filter (check -include all module streams without errata).

3) Set the date for the Errata By Date filter (b) on the content-view to 11/03/2023, then add available module streams in the Module Stream filter (c), then publish/promote the content-view and update RHEL 8 clients. Repeat the same process but change the dates for the Errata By Date filter (b) to 12/01/2023. Clients break at this point between RHEL 8.8 > 8.9 with perl module stream conflicts preventing updates.

Actual results:

Updates from RHEL 8 content-view between RHEL 8.8 and RHEL 8.9 produce 50+ perl dependency errors concerning perl module streams.

Interestingly enough the DNF critical errors end showing the modular filtering as the culprit.

• package perl-libs-4:5.32.1-471.module+el8.6.0+20545+312b6629.x86_64 is filtered out by modular filtering
• package perl-libs-4:5.32.1-472.module+el8.8.0+21005+3d1ce0e6.x86_64 is filtered out by modular filtering

Expected results:

Updates work as expected.
