I'm trying to install the redhat-lsb package. This will allow me to gather additional facts when running ansible against this target machine.
When I attempt to install redhat-lsb I get the following output:
yum install redhat-lsb

It appears to have an issue with perl-autodie. So then I ran the command "yum module provides perl-autodie". Here's the results:
yum module provides perl-autodie

Based on the results, perl-autodie is available in the perl:5.32 module. So then I enable the perl:5.32 module with the command "yum module enable perl:5.32", and check the results with "yum module list perl". Here's the results:
# yum module enable perl:5.32

Now we can see the perl:5.26 is still the default and perl:5.32 is enabled. With perl:5.32 enabled, I can only assume that the perl-autodie dependency will be satisfied and availalbe. If I attempt to install redhat-lsb now, I get the following output:
# yum install redhat-lsb

It looks like the freeradius module is dependent on the perl:5.26 module, but the perl:5.32 modules is the one that's enabled. I don't need freeradius, so let's just remove it with, "yum module remove freeradius:3.0:8030020200831192931:1e4bbb35.x86_64"

Nothing to do.
Complete!
I'm completely stuck in appstream modular repository hell. All I want to do is install redhat-lsb. I'm stuck at this point and am begging for help. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
