I would agree. I have the same behavior in a Redhat 8 development system, so it's not a problem with the Centos build. I have not added any repositories other then the Redhat codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms. I original installed 8.0 and have applied all updates. I did not notice the problem until recently.

This appears to be a known problem. I found the following workaround on the redhat site. (you need to login and it might require either a license or a developer subscription (which is what I have).

The instructions were a little unclear to me, but I did the following and it appears to have solved the problem.

Yes, this does eliminate the diagnostic. Exactly what else it does I don't know, because I haven't grasped the concept of the module streams yet. One thing bothers me, tho.....
Apparently, the problem was identified and workaround described in mid December. I encountered the problem in early January, and Google searches gave me no clue. Apparently, the RedHat forum on which this workaround was described didn't show up, and if it did, I couldn't access it. It was your useful "feet in both RedHat and Centos" that made the link, but after a few people spent considerable time trying to help. If I might be so bold as to suggest that somehow workarounds for RedHat problems that would show up in the corresponding CentOS release be made visible to the Centos community to avoid duplication of effort.
Thanks for the research.
