+# On AArch64, since the cloud image is very old, some packages are obsolete and
+# get upgraded from the 'updates' repository. However, after the whole distro
+# is upgraded and the repos are pointing to the latest repositories, the same
+# packages previously available in the 'updates' repo are now listed in the
+# 'base' repo, breaking our RPM availability check below.
+#
+# Work around this by forcing a reinstall of the problematic packages, which
+# will also update the 'From repo' fields.
