"error: Some base packages would be replaced" when trying to atomic host upgrade

[Alibloke]

I get the following error when trying to update atomic:
# atomic host upgrade
-------8<--------
Resolving dependencies... Forbidden base package replacements:
pciutils-libs 3.5.1-2.el7 -> 3.5.1-3.el7 (base)
failed
error: Some base packages would be replaced

# atomic -v
1.20.1

@cgwalters Does this mean they installed a local copy of pciutils-libs?

Likely a dup of coreos/rpm-ostree#415

Would help if you pasted rpm-ostree status.

Also likely a dupe of coreos/rpm-ostree#415. See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1652615 for background and possible workarounds.
