Hi devel

Is that not something that needs looking into?

-> $ dnf search release | grep -i strea Last metadata expiration check: 0:07:24 ago on Thu 28 Jan 2021 09:46:52 GMT. centos-release-stream.x86_64 : CentOS-Stream release file centos-stream-release.noarch : CentOS Stream release files

Installing one package and not the other messes things a bit.

No it is as intended .. one of them resides in CentOS Linux 8 extras repo .. it will go away once CentOS Linux 8 reaches EOL. It allows you to install the release package, run an update to switch from CentOS Linux 8 to CentOS Stream 8 .. where the other package is automatically installed.
