Research direction

Start with get.docker.sh and reproduce the reported installation on CentOS 8.3 or a compatible RHEL-family system. Inspect the package-dependency handling; done means docker-ce installs without requiring the user to remove runc and without the reported dependency conflict.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When trying to run the script from get.docker.sh on CentOS 8.3, or a compatible version with the latest updates, I get the output below. A simple workaround is to execute

sudo dnf -y remove runc

(Note, that this will also deinstall buildah, cockpit-podman, conmon, container-selinux, containers-common, criu, fuse-overlayfs, fuse3, fuse3-libs, libnet, libslirp, libvarlink, podman, podman-catatonit, protobuf-c, and slirp4netns.)
