Skip weak dependencies during install on UBI
What does this MR do?
Prevents weak dependencies from being installed in the ubi images.
This can be a problem, for example: when a gnutls update in the rhel repros included a recommend dependency on trousers which brings with it pam,systemd and about 30 other friends.
Note that the problem is resolved when the upstream ubi8 image has been updated.
