Error:
Problem: package ipa-client-encrypted-dns-4.12.2-22.el9_7.1.x86_64 from appstream requires bind9.18-utils, but none of the providers can be installed

  • package bind9.18-utils-32:9.18.29-5.el9_7.2.x86_64 from appstream conflicts with bind-utils provided by bind-utils-32:9.16.23-34.el9_7.1.x86_64 from @System
  • cannot install the best update candidate for package ipa-client-encrypted-dns-4.12.2-14.el9_6.5.x86_64
  • cannot install the best update candidate for package bind-utils-32:9.16.23-34.el9_7.1.x86_64
    (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)
    [root@git ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
    Rocky Linux release 9.7 (Blue Onyx)

Using the –nobest option seems to work, but would prefer not to use that.

Solved on Rocky mattermost chat with:

rpm -e --nodeps bind-utils

after that the yum/dnf update worked and pulled in the latest packages without problem.
