Description of problem: Please create a branch for moreutils in EPEL8. Note however that updates are needed in EPEL generally, as well as rawhide, as we're behind upstream by a bit. See BZ#1168306 BZ#1551478 https://release-monitoring.org/project/13825/

I tried to install on CentOS8 (centos:8 docker image) and got the following error. [root@63c6800131dd /]# dnf -y install epel-release ... Installed: epel-release-8-5.el8.noarch Complete!

Sorry. PowerTools repo seems to be required. 'dnf -y --enablerepo=PowerTools install moreutils' works fine.
Bear in mind please you're advocating subscribing to a new repo, for just one dependency, of just one "nice to have" package of a few kinda corner-case utils that very few people care or even know about. I'm prepping RHEL8 here for a closed environment, so that would require mirroring the entire repo, which would be hard to justify even for a critical package. No blame or anything, but please consider consequences of shuffling the deck before just saying "--enablerepo=PowerTools ... works fine". Thanks!
