CentOS 7 cuDNN package dependency problem

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation
1

I have CentOS 7 machines that use the NVIDIA repose to install CUDA, cuDNN and some TensorRT packages. Here’s my /etc/yum.repos.d/cuda-rhel7.repo file:

[cuda-rhel7-x86_64]
name=cuda-rhel7-x86_64
baseurl=https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel7/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel7/x86_64/D42D0685.pub

Things are fouled up after a recent cuDNN update. CUDA 11.8 is installed, but the repo wants to install the following:

libcudnn8-8.7.0.84-1.cuda10.2.x86_64
libcudnn8-devel-8.7.0.84-1.cuda10.2.x86_64

Not the cuda10.2 at the end that I believe should be cuda11.8. When I attempt to remove the offending packages, yum tries to remove other CUDA 11.8 dependent packages I want to keep.

Remove  2 Packages (+9 Dependent packages)

It seems like there are bad package dependencies floating around.
Can someone confirm?

TIA,

I can confirm that if I drop back to

libcudnn8-8.6.0.163-1.cuda11.8.x86_64
libcudnn8-devel-8.6.0.163-1.cuda11.8.x86_64

the problem is resolve, but the repo wants to overwrite them with the incorrect CUDA versions:

Is this ok [y/d/N]:

So blind updating is not an option until this is resolved.
