I was working on upgrading some of our POWER8 ppc64le nodes and ran into the following issue with the libguestfs package that's currently in updates:

It seems as though this package was likely built using the power9 repos since kernel-core only shows up on the POWER9 nodes. Is anyone else seeing this problem?
Thanks!
