Noticed the following, after reboot (multiple in fact), server still shows that reboot is necessary.

# needs-restarting -r
Core libraries or services have been updated since boot-up:
  * glibc
  * linux-firmware

Reboot is required to fully utilize these updates.

I believe the problem was addressed in RHEL with this fix:
rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-core@eb0a223

Which seems to be missing in Alma
