perl-Convert-ASN1 does indeed seem to have gone missing. I've opened https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8928 to investigate. fwiw, the F29 (during the stabilization of RHEL 8) version still builds and installs trivially, as a workaround /var/ftp/pub/nfs/mirror/redhat/fedora/29/os/SRPMS/p/perl-Convert-ASN1-0.27-12.fc29.src.rpm It was retired. I will issue a new build that drops the subpackage and its dep on nagios-plugins-all.

I assume the only issue is, that Centos did not release the 8.2. This package made it to base repo (AppStream) thus must not be provideded by EPEL any longer. For centos it is avalable only in Stream variant now till the 8.2 is released where this is officially supported package. All the Fedora-related branches have retired the package, so it's not installable in EL 6 or 7 either, nor in any Fedora release. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1821879 The issue being addressed here is the fact that plugins-all isn't installable without perl-Convert-ASN1 (effectively). Even if it does show up in 8.2 (eventually), I'm not sure adding that plugin back will be the right thing to do. I also realized that I need to add an Obosletes: line to the nagios-plugins package to properly handle the transition. So I'll have to rebuilt it all again (sorry for the noise). Of people on this bug, does anyone feel strongly about the check_ssl_validity plugin itself?

To all of Your points. 1st it is not retired, it just made it to official repos. Available in alle supported EL releases (6-8). For redhat/centos 8: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1821882 For Fedora 30-32 in Official: https://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/30/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/p/perl-Convert-ASN1-0.27-13.fc30.noarch.rpm https://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/31/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/p/perl-Convert-ASN1-0.27-15.fc31.noarch.rpm https://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/32/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/p/perl-Convert-ASN1-0.27-18.fc32.noarch.rpm Thought there is the bug ticket so it will need a patch... The ticket is adressing the issue that the dependency is missiing and not complaining about including a plugin in nagios-plugins-all that has another valid deendency, which is very ok for me (it's called "all"). About the plugin itself, we do not use it till now but if there is a requirement, it is fine. You're right, I seem to have over-reacted a bit. Thanks for setting me straight. I can re-instate the check_ssl_validity plugin for the other releases. I can make the epel8 version obsolete check_ssl_validity for now, and then reinstate it when 8.2 releases. That should address both the instability issue and still provide the plugin for those who wish to use it. I think I still need to obsolete the ssl plugin in the epel8 build temporarily. I'll issue new builds soon-ish - they'll update here when I post them.
