Comment 1 clime7 2020-05-14 16:51:36 UTC

Note that I, in fact, depend on moreutils in spec file, i.e. it is runtime require for a package I want to add into epel8 repos.

Comment 2 clime7 2020-05-16 18:25:40 UTC

It seems it needs to be enabled by user: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL.

If the yum error message would say what to do, It would be fine but right now the behavior is not great.

Comment 3 nebulakid 2021-06-02 15:22:46 UTC

I'm running CentOS Linux release 8.3.2011 and have the epel-release repo added/installed, but the issue is the same.

Package epel-release-8-10.el8.noarch is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Comment 4 nebulakid 2021-06-02 15:50:02 UTC

"dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools" fixed it. Sorry..

Comment 5 Mikel Olasagasti Uranga 2022-05-06 10:12:25 UTC

For future references, to install moreutils in EPEL8:

# dnf install epel-release -y
# dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
# dnf install moreutils
