Just up upgraded Foreman 3.41/Katello 4.6 to Foreman 3.5/Katello 4.7 without any problems. I however noticed when preparing the Foreman repos for the proxies that file /etc/yum.repos.d/ansible-runner.repo after the upgrade is 0 byte in size on the Foreman server. Is this expected?
# dnf list installed | grep @ansible-runner
python3-daemon.noarch 2.1.2-9.el8ar @ansible-runner
python3-lockfile.noarch 1:0.11.0-8.el8ar @ansible-runner
python3-pexpect.noarch 4.6-2.el8ar @ansible-runner
Searching for the packages, only epel seems to have these packages now but if I recall, epel should not be enabled on a Foreman server. Any actions needs to be taken here?

After some more digging it seems the python3 packages has been replaced by python39.
# rpm -qa| grep python.*-daemon
python3-daemon-2.1.2-9.el8ar.noarch
python39-daemon-2.3.1-1.el8.noarch
# rpm -qa| grep python.*-lockfile
python3-lockfile-0.11.0-8.el8ar.noarch
python39-lockfile-0.12.2-1.el8.noarch
# rpm -qa| grep python.*-pexpect
python39-pexpect-4.8.0-2.el8.noarch
python3-pexpect-4.6-2.el8ar.noarch
And the python39 now exist in the foreman-plugins repo:
# dnf list installed | egrep 'python39-daemon|python39-lockfile|python39-pexpect'
python39-daemon.noarch 2.3.1-1.el8 @foreman-plugins
python39-lockfile.noarch 0.12.2-1.el8 @foreman-plugins
python39-pexpect.noarch 4.8.0-2.el8 @foreman-plugins
So I guess the python3 packages are just some leftover and not used anymore?
Removing then will remove some additional packages so probably not recommended:
# dnf remove python3-pexpect python3-lockfile python3-daemon
