While migrating from aap24/rhel8minimal to aap25/rhel8minimal I am having trouble with the build failing due to an RPM package which is already installed:

```auto
Running command:
  podman build -f context/Containerfile -t ansible-execution-env:latest context
...showing last 20 lines of output...

Attempting uninstall: requests  
  Found existing installation: requests 2.31.0

x error: uninstall-no-record-file  
x Cannot uninstall requests 2.31.0  
╰─> The package's contents are unknown: no RECORD file was found for requests.

Hint: The package was installed by RPM. You should check if it can uninstall the package.

Error: error building at STEP "RUN /output/scripts/assemble":  
      error while running runtime: exit status 1

An error occurred (rc=125), see output line(s) above for details.

```

Has anyone experienced this kind of behaviour before and found a valid work-around?

This is the collection that is causing the trouble:

Shall something be done within cisco.ise collection to fix this?

requests==2.31.0 yes that, or the dependency asked in by the dependent collection can solve it.
