    Openldap <= 2.4.46-1 overwrites symbolic links created by ibmldap in /usr/bin. From 2.4.46-2 onwards, no files are being shipped in /usr/bin directory.
    So updating openldap from any version <= 2.4.46-1 will remove symbolic links created by ibmldap in /usr/bin. One can recreate them using the following command
    /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.4/bin/idslink -g -f

    i checked and tested again...upgrading git packages to latest version pulls in the buggy curl/libssh2 version which messes up dnf...so how to fix this?

    Looks like the repodata is old. "curl 8.18.0-1" was published in Jan 2026. There are multiple versions after that. 
    You may want to recreate the repodata again.

    repodata is up to date...git-core-2.51.2 pulls in curl-8.18.0-1 instead of curl-8.21.0-1 for some reason

    reposync will only download the rpms. We have to run createrepo as well to update the repodata.

    i deleted the buggy curl packages, but reposync downloads it again, why is it still in your repo?
