Why is the output of yum list different in RHEL 8?
Issue
- Why I use "yum list [Package] --showduplicates" to get different results on the two RHEL8 servers which are all registered and have the same official yum repository, same channel?
- The two RHEL 8 servers have different results such as below:
# yum list containers-common --showduplicates
