Description Carl George 🤠 2026-01-22 07:01:43 UTC

Description of problem:
reStream from EPEL 8 has one or more unresolved dependencies, causing it to be uninstallable.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
reStream-1.3.1-1.el8


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install reStream


Actual results:
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides (ffmpeg-free >= 4.0.0 or ffmpeg >= 4.0.0) needed by reStream-1.3.1-1.el8.noarch from epel


Expected results:
successful installation


Additional info:
This also affects the most recent update in epel-testing (reStream-1.4.0-1.el8).  There's a request to add ffmpeg to EPEL 8 in bug 2280915, but it doesn't seem to have gotten any traction since it was opened in 2024.  At this point the best path forward is probably to just retire the epel8 branch.

Comment 1 Daniel Milnes 2026-01-26 07:14:14 UTC

Agreed, I don't think there's much point in keeping it alive for EPEL8.

Let me give retiring it a go.

Comment 2 Daniel Milnes 2026-01-26 07:16:32 UTC

Retired on EPEL8 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/reStream/c/dcdcfd13a0c3b8ace79b6f8d05391975e2084d5e?branch=epel8
