Error:
Problem 1: package kernel-1:4.18.0-372.19.1.lve.el8.x86_64 requires kernel-modules-uname-r = 4.18.0-372.19.1.lve.el8.x86_64, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package kernel-1:4.18.0-193.28.1.lve1.el8.x86_64
  - package kernel-modules-1:4.18.0-372.19.1.lve.el8.x86_64 is filtered out by exclude filtering

Environment

• CloudLinux 6/7/8
• YUM/DNF

Solution

1. Ensure that the mentioned package is not in the exclude line of the YUM or DNF configuration file:

   # cat /etc/yum.conf
   
   [main]
   exclude=bind-chroot dovecot* exim* filesystem kernel-modules nsd* p0f php* proftpd* pure-ftpd*

   In the example above, the kernel-modules  is excluded.

2. Remove the package from that line.
3. Try yum update once again.

Cause

The package is excluded in the yum configuration.
