Restoring Navigator to Cockpit after Alma 9.7 update

[bobbluesystems]

Having updated several systems now from Alma 9.6 to 9.7 on most systems "Navigator" was removed from Cockpit and is now inaccessible. Only the new "Files" become available for file management.
On one system after the 9.7 update Navigator remained available and continues to work fine.

Having a system update remove a third party tool from a system without warning or permission is in my option fundamentally wrong in the open source world.

I find "Files" to be a low productivity tool due to bugs, lack of functionality and design choices in the UI.

I can not however find out how to reinstall Navigator.
Using the normal
dnf install cockpit-navigator
reports Files is already installed and does not correct the lack of Navigator in Cockpit.

Nothing to do.
Complete!

Package cockpit-navigator available, but not installed.

Error: No packages marked for reinstall.

It seems after the 9.7 forced removal of navigator the state of the system is in some way incorrect as it is now reported navigator is both installed and NOT installed at the exact time.

How can I restore Navigator to cockpit in Alma 9.7 systems?
