 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Even when I install python3 and am able to use it at /usr/bin/python3 it says I do not meet the requirements.

bash-4.2# yum install rh-python36
bash-4.2# ln -s /opt/rh/rh-python36/root/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python3

Best Answer

Capability python(abi) = 3.6 and file /usr/bin/python3 are provided by python3 package in the base repository (reference).

You should run yum install openscap-containers while the base repository is enabled.

Since yum didn't pick it up as dependency, you have a problem that the base repository was disabled or its repo definition is missing.

In the latter case, yum reinstall centos-release.
