gstreamer1 library conflict when installing RHEL 9 security updates

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

When you have gstreamer1-plugins-good-1.18.4 and gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free-1.18.4 installed and attempt to perform a dnf security update:

# dnf update --security

This leads to a file conflict error:

2024-07-20T18:12:54-0400 CRITICAL Error: Transaction test error:
