This RHUI update fixes the following bugs:

• The rhui-installer failed on RHEL 8.10 Beta due to the use of distutils. This has been addressed by updating to a newer version of ansible-collection-community-crypto which does not use the distutils.

This RHUI update introduces the following enhancements:

• A native Ansible module is now used to update the packages on the RHUA server when the RHUI installer is run for the first time or rerun at any time. This update can be prevented by using the --ignore-newer-rhel-packages flag on the rhui-installer command line.

• PulpCore has been updated to version 3.39.
