Description Brad Viviano 2022-07-25 17:34:10 UTC

Description of problem:
I am attempting to install the novnc-1.3.0-3.el8.noarch package into RHEL8.6.  It has a dependency for python3-websockify, which appears to be missing from the EPEL repository.

Comment 5 Brad Viviano 2022-07-28 10:00:30 UTC

Thanks, I installed it from the testing repo earlier in the week and I had no issues.  I didn't get a chance to come back and update this ticket as I was testing the package I needed novnc for, but based on that testing python3-websockify in the testing repo worked correctly.
