Dnf update fails; out-of-date mirror?

dnf update has been failing for me since yesterday (Jan 23), complaining about openssl packages:

(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

I believe the problem is due to out-of-date or mismatched mirror repos. openssl-devel lives in AppStream, while openssl & openssl-libs live in BaseOS. According to /var/log/dnf.librepo.log, i’m getting AppStream from mirror.reenigne.net and BaseOS from rocky-linux-northamerica-northeast1.production.gcp.mirrors.ctrliq.cloud. However, while openssl & openssl-libs have been updated to version 3.0.7-25, openssl-devel hasn’t, at least in the reenigne.net mirror.

Hi,

Looks like it may be related to this:

Regards Tom.

I ended up just blocking mirror.reenigne.net, and now dnf update works.
