yum versionlock not respected, resulting in failure

[LorenzoSacchi]

If you configure versionlock in yum, the daemon does not respect it, resulting in errors like the following:

OSConfigAgent[16306]: 2022-12-15T14:07:40.5867Z OSConfigAgent Error inventory.go:55: packages.GetPackageUpdates() error: error getting yum updates: error checking for yum updates, non-zero error code from 'yum update' but no packages parsed, stdout:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

This is the output of the systemd service.
As a result any patching job fails.
The service should automatically skip the packages in versionlock, like:

# yum versionlock status 
Loaded plugins: versionlock
0:dse-full-6.0.11-1.*
versionlock list done

# yum  update --exclude dse

[LorenzoSacchi]

if you run yum update from the cli, you get the same error
the error disappear if you run yum with the --exclude=dse*
