It looks like containerd.io is providing its own version of runc which
conflicts with runc.


runc is a container runtime (An OCI Container Runtime) to be specific

containerd is a container engine, just like Podman, Docker, Moby,
Buildah, CRI-O

Containerd I believe is packaged incorrectly and should either use the
systems runc or imbed its own into a private directory, and should not
conflict with runc.

I opened a bug on this.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1694046

Not sure how this package made it through package review.

As for the naming, I have no idea. 


You shold pobably add your comments on naming to this bugzilla.
