#12334 koji: seemingly random `Unexpected error 9 on netlink descriptor 10.` errors failing builds

I do not see any pattern to this, but dnf in koji started to frequently fail to download and install the default buildroot:

(...)
After this operation, 9 MiB extra will be used (install 9 MiB, remove 0 B).
Unexpected error 9 on netlink descriptor 10.

The descriptor number sometimes changes, but the errno is the same. I've also seen it happen on x86_64 and aarch64, so it is not specific to one builder or even one architecture. Some example failed tasks:

@kevin suspects a recent curl update in rawhide (i.e. 8.10 → 8.11) might be to blame.

Yeah, just a wild guess.

I don't see anything odd on the builders. No network errors or other issues.
Also, the only thing that changed on them since this started was a pam update.

CC: @kdudka @jamacku any chance this could be curl related?

It looks like all these are f42/rawhide...

(fixed comment zero to indicate that only rawhide seems to be affected, which would point at the curl 8.10 → 8.11 update)

Looks like this might very well be:
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/15725

I am going to untag 8.11.1 for now and @decathorpe is gonna file a bugzilla.redhat.com curl bug to track it.
