YUM updates fail with kernel-core and kexec-tools conflict

Symptoms

During updates, you may see an error like the following when running updates on a CloudLinux 7 server.

Error: kernel-core conflicts with kexec-tools-2.0.15-51.el7_9.2.x86_64

Description 

This is due to a package conflict between kernel-core-4.18.0-193.28.1.lve1.el7h.x86_64 and kexec-tools less than 2.0.20-8.

Workaround

CloudLinux should have a fix forthcoming. In the meantime, you can run the following command to update the kexec-tools package.

yum update kexec-tools --enablerepo=cl7h_beta
