Environment

• Cloudlinux OS
• EPEL repository
• IPTABLES

Solution

iptables was updated recently, and EPEL hasn’t updated iptables-legacy yet, so, for now, it has a dependency on the older release. The only workaround until the EPEL update is to exclude iptables.

sed -i.bak 's/^exclude=/&iptables* /' /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
dnf update
