The modular package softhsm has appeared in CentOS 8 AppStream without
modular metadata,
and hence uninstallable.

 sudo dnf install softhsm

No available modular metadata for modular package
'softhsm-2.4.0-2.module_el8.1.0+253+3b90c921.x86_64', it cannot be
installed on the system

On a fully updated RHEL 8.1 system:

# dnf repo-pkgs rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms list | grep softhsm
# # nada
