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.
