Description
When trying to install the SOPS RPM on a RHEL 8 VM with FIPS enabled, the installation with fail. This is because there have been changes to RPM validation on RHEL 8.
According to RHEL there are three options:
1. Disable FIPS (obviously a no)
2. Use the workaround --nodigest --nofiledigest when FIPS is enabled
3. Have the package rebuilt with rpm >=4.14
The bug report - must be a subscriber to see response but high level the answer is.
Rebuilding the RPM with rpm >=4.14 should rectify the issue. Request that new RPM's be built with rpm version 4.14+
