    Hello everyone. When I tried updating my system today, I got the following result:
    [nikos@asus-e502na ~]$ sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
    Updating Subscription Management repositories.

    From the suggested solutions (adding one of the following to the command line, --allowerasing, --skip-broken and --nobest), only the last worked somehow, leaving me with:

    Package Architecture Version Repository Size

    Skipping packages with conflicts:
    (add '--best --allowerasing' to command line to force their upgrade):
    libipa_hbac x86_64 2.6.2-4.el9_0.1 rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms 35 k
    libsss_certmap x86_64 2.6.2-4.el9_0.1 rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms 79 k
    libsss_sudo x86_64 2.6.2-4.el9_0.1 rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms 33 k
    Skipping packages with broken dependencies:
    sssd x86_64 2.6.2-4.el9_0.1 rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms 25 k
    sssd-ad x86_64 2.6.2-4.el9_0.1 rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms 207 k
    sssd-ipa x86_64 2.6.2-4.el9_0.1 rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms 273 k

    Transaction Summary

    Skip 6 Packages

    Nothing to do.
    Complete!
    Is there anything else I should try? Thanks.
