Thanks, Johnny. The problem is that RHEL compose tooling is not ideal
with the updates that span non-modular and modular content at the
same time. To do Samba rebase to 4.15.2, we had to rebuild all dependent
packages which use NDR libraries from Samba. Part of them are in modules
(idm:DL1 stream), part are non-modular. They all have to pass RHEL
gating process and complete pre-verification by QE at the same time to
get into RHEL compose. We did that last week, finally and internal RHEL
8.6 nightly compose contains all rebuilt packages -- at least those
required by idm:DL1 stream.

Samba package was imported in CentOS 8 Stream yesterday but so far I
have not seen the same for IPA and SSSD. Until they are imported and
rebuilt in a proper order, compose will be broken. We've done that in
CentOS 9 Stream already using side-tags, though the pre-verification
process is still being done by RHEL QE team and thus no updates are in
CentOS 9 Stream composes. CentOS 8 Stream processes aren't yet at the
same level.
