Details:
Running the playbooks against a CentOS Stream 9 docker containers gives the following error:

Noting that curl is already in the base image so skipping this may be the simplest solution, although we should understand the underlying reason why this is happening - potentially a repository issue

This is more fundamental - dnf install curl doesn't work out of the box ... Happens on x64 and aarch64

(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
