Greetings,

try using the --allowerasing flag, it should at least remove the
geniuspaste and updatechecker plugin as they're not available anymore in
EPEL9 for some technical reason.
I wonder why this didn't happen automatically, though. Will need time to
look into the packaging, but there's plenty of it currently.

Regards,
Dominic
