[15-11 backport] Skip weak dependencies during install on UBI

DJ Mountney requested to merge cherry-pick-f413e465 into 15-11-stable

What does this MR do?

Backport See merge request !1376 (merged) (cherry picked from commit f413e465)

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.
