Description Richard Shaw 2020-01-08 14:58:01 UTC 
This is needed for BackupPC which is used in many thousands of RHEL/CentOS servers and admins are starting to move to EL 8.
Comment 1 Paul Howarth 2020-01-08 15:35:44 UTC 
perl-DateTime-Format-Mail-0.403-6.el8 is available in the Code Ready Builder (RHEL) / PowerTools (CentOS) repository for EL-8.

Packages from EPEL8 often include dependencies from there so you need to enable one of those repositories.

See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F
Comment 2 Richard Shaw 2020-01-08 16:07:15 UTC 
Interesting... From the blocked bug you can see it couldn't be installed and he must already be running EPEL for the other dependnecies. 

No packager test instance of CentoS 8 is setup yet (last I checked). I guess I'll need to setup a VM to diagnose.
Comment 3 Paul Howarth 2020-01-08 16:11:26 UTC 
Some EPEL packages will install OK without enabling PowerTools, others won't. He must have enabled EPEL but not PowerTools.
