Bug Report

What happened:

My team has been using ceph-ansible to provision a ceph cluster on RHEL-8.4 OpenStack Instances. This has been working fine for a couple months now and then some time mid last week it started failing with the following errors

This happens for all the cluster components. Here is the enabled repolist for the mon as an example

There is no package called selinux-policy-base ONLY selinux-policy

What you expected to happen:

The cluster deployment to complete successfully

How to reproduce it (minimal and precise):

• Install RHEL-8.4
• Enabled the rh-ceph-4 repos
• Enable the AppStream and BaseOS repos
• Install ceph-ansible from the rhceph-4-tools repo on adm
• Use the default site.yml that comes with ceph-ansible

I suspect this is only an issue with your environment.
In any case, this is not the right place, you should open a BZ instead of an upstream github issue for this.
Do you mind opening a BZ instead? thanks!
