Although the avobe error message was occurred on AlmaLinux 10, this is not an issue a RHEL 10-specific bug, but RPM package itself.
Therefore, the same error should occur on RHEL 10 as well.

How to repeat:
$ sudo dnf install -y https://repo.mysql.com/mysql84-community-release-el10.rpm
$ sudo dnf config-manager --disable mysql-9.7-lts-community
$ sudo dnf config-manager --enable mysql-8.4-lts-community
$ sudo dnf config-manager --disable mysql-tools-9.7-lts-community
$ sudo dnf config-manager --enable mysql-tools-8.4-lts-community
$ sudo dnf install -y mysql-community-server

Suggested fix:
We should add the same changes as https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/commit/5569aa38fa0be20082f122dbd38a63b4cef1f6b8#diff... to mysql-server/packaging/rpm-oel/mysql.spec.in.
