Symptom & Impact

Application installs fail with module-filtered candidates or stream conflict errors.

Environment & Reproduction

Appears on CentOS Stream 10 when a pinned stream blocks the required runtime version.

Root Cause Analysis

Module stream pin persists across upgrades and prevents alternative stream resolution.

Quick Triage

Run `dnf module list –enabled` to see all pinned streams and `dnf module info ` for details.

Step-by-Step Diagnosis

Identify the conflicting module and inspect its dependencies.

Solution – Primary Fix

Reset the module pin with `dnf module reset -y ` then enable the desired stream and install.

Solution – Alternative Approaches

Use a container or rootless podman runtime to bypass host stream pinning entirely.

Verification & Acceptance Criteria

Required runtime installs without filtering errors; `dnf module list` shows the new pin.

Rollback Plan

Re-enable the previous stream if the new version breaks application compatibility.

Prevention & Hardening

Document approved module pins in your provisioning baseline.

Related Errors & Cross-Refs

Related to dnf metadata staleness and AppStream catalog drift.
