Greetings @finsfree ...

My use case ...

There was an issue with upgrading hosts to 7.0.3 (there is no  7.0.3.00100 for ESXI that I am aware of). Build Number: 18644231 is from 10/5/2021. There was an offending vib -  Intel NIC driver was renamed to i40enu, and then back to i40en, which is causing the conflict.
    https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/85982

I removed the offending vib using the command: esxcli software vib remove -n i40enu for each host (I'm sure there may be more scalable methods - I only had a 4-node cluster to deal with)
Once resolved (remove i40enu vib) then the host can be upgraded to 7.0.3 ...

this resolved the issue for me, anyway ...
