      not installable providers: mariadb-client-11.8.2-160000.2.2.x86_64[openSUSE:repo-oss]
                         mariadb-client-11.8.3-160000.1.1.x86_64[openSUSE:repo-oss]
                         mariadb-client-11.8.5-160000.1.1.x86_64[openSUSE:repo-oss]
                         mariadb-client-11.8.5-160000.2.1.x86_64[openSUSE:repo-oss]

       Solution 1: do not install MariaDB-server-11.8.8-1.x86_64
       Solution 2: break MariaDB-server-11.8.8-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
      

      Use following podman command (in an empty directory) to reproduce the issue (the same with docker):

      echo 'FROM opensuse/leap:16.0
      ENV container=docker
      ENV LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       
      RUN zypper -n in curl # rpm --import needs curl atm
      RUN zypper ar -f https://mirror.mariadb.org/yum/11.8/opensuse160-amd64 mariadb
      RUN rpm --import https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
      RUN zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys ref
       
      RUN zypper -vvv -n install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client' | podman build -f - .
