Broke deps when installing/updating RHEL 74

Latest response

I need to install and update RHEL 7.4, without upgrading to RHEL 7.5
This was not a problem until 7.5 was released. Anyone have suggestions for a workaround?

1) Install 7.4
2) subscription-manager register
3) subscription-manager list --available
4) subscription-manager attach --pool=xxx
5) subscription-manager release --list
6) subscription-manager release --set=7.4
7) yum update

Error: Package: gnome-classic-session-3.26.2-3.el7.noarch (rhel-7-server-rpms)
Requires: gnome-shell-extension-top-icons = 3.26.2-3.el7

The default repos that are enabled after fresh install
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server (RPMs)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Real Time (RHEL 7 Server) (RPMs)

8) yum update --skip-broken
I'm speculating it cannot access some repodata because the path is dynamically modified based on my "--set=7.4"

Sorry I should have tried a few more things before I posted.

Resolved by:

1) subscription-manager repos --enable="a few more" (including optional-rpms)

2) yum clean all

3) yum update

4) cat /etc/redhat-release

 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4 (Maipo)

5) uname -r

 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64

I faced same issue. Unfortunately, Thomas didn't mention the repo id. So wanted to share it;

1) subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms

2) yum clean all

3) yum update
