Thanks Jean, this appears to be a 4 months old bug. Woot.
I did what you’ve said but ended up other missing packages:
[root@headnode ~]# dnf install xCAT
Last metadata expiration check: 0:06:55 ago on Mon 07 Sep 2020 08:18:32 PM -03.
Error:
Problem: package xCAT-2.16-snap202006161607.x86_64 requires perl(CGI), but
none of the providers can be installed
- package perl-CGI-4.38-2.el8.noarch requires perl(HTML::Entities) >= 3.69,
but none of the providers can be installed
- cannot install the best candidate for the job
- package perl-HTML-Parser-3.72-14.el8.x86_64 is filtered out by modular
filtering
- package perl-CGI-4.38-2.el8.noarch is filtered out by exclude filtering
- package perl-HTML-Parser-3.72-15.module_el8.3.0+416+b5fcb464.x86_64 is
filtered out by exclude filtering
- package perl-HTML-Parser-3.72-15.module_el8.3.0+416+dee7bcef.x86_64 is
filtered out by exclude filtering
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use
not only best candidate packages)
Using the Continous Release repository lead to things like this…
What is strange in the original issue, is that the specific requirement is
tiered as an equal version, and in CentOS 8.2 the package is available but it’s
different in the last number:
nothing provides net-snmp-agent-libs(x86-64) = 1:5.8-10.el8 needed by
net-snmp-perl-1:5.8-10.el8.x86_64
net-snmp-agent-libs x86_64 1:5.8-14.el8_2.1
AppStream 747 k
So xCAT mandates for 1.5.8-10; when 1.5.8-14 is available.
Thanks,
