I'm trying to install a MariaDB RPM provided by MariaDB, not Centos. Since DNF natively supports priority, that should be as simple as creating a .repo file similar to:

[MariaDB]
name=The MariaDB 10.4 repository
baseurl=http://yum.mariadb.org/10.4/centos8-amd64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
priority=1

However, when I list available packages, I DO get packages from the newly entered MariaDB repo, but the priority=1 seems to be ignored and packages from CentOS AppStream with similar (but different case) names are over-riding it.

sudo yum list |grep -i mariadb-server
MariaDB-server-debuginfo.x86_64                      10.4.12-1.el8                                     MariaDB         
mariadb-server.x86_64                                3:10.3.17-1.module_el8.1.0+257+48736ea6           AppStream       
mariadb-server-galera.x86_64                         3:10.3.17-1.module_el8.1.0+257+48736ea6           AppStream       
mariadb-server-utils.x86_64                          3:10.3.17-1.module_el8.1.0+257+48736ea6           AppStream

However, if I disable the AppStream repo in my yum command, it works as it should (ignoring the missing dependencies from AppStream):

sudo yum list --disablerepo=AppStream |grep -i mariadb-server
Modular dependency problems:

 Problem 1: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides module(perl:5.26) needed by module perl-DBD-MySQL:4.046:8010020191114030811:073fa5fe-0.x86_64
 Problem 2: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides module(perl:5.26) needed by module perl-DBI:1.641:8010020191113222731:16b3ab4d-0.x86_64
MariaDB-server.x86_64                              10.4.12-1.el8                              MariaDB         
MariaDB-server-debuginfo.x86_64                    10.4.12-1.el8                              MariaDB

Am I doing something wrong, or is this simply just a bug in DNF, possibly from the different cases used by Centos (mariadb-server) and MariaDB (MariaDB-server).

I can get this to work manually of course, but I want to setup puppet to install it automatically, which I can't seem to get working.

centos yum dnf
