Description of problem: During the installation of borgbackup I get the following error: Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides python3.6dist(packaging) needed by borgbackup-1.1.17-1.el8.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/centos-release CentOS Linux release 8.4.2105 [root@localhost ~]# How reproducible: Try to install borgbackup Steps to Reproduce: 1. vagrant init centos/8 2. vagrant up && vagrant ssh 3. sudo -i 4. dnf update && dnf install epel-release && dnf install borgbackup Actual results: Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides python3.6dist(packaging) needed by borgbackup-1.1.17-1.el8.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) Expected results: I expect that I can install borgbackup Additional info:
You need to enable the "PowerTools" repository: $ config-manager --set-enabled powertools See also: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#Quickstart Unfortunately there is not much we can do about this. Basically Red Hat decided not to ship some packages in the default channels and CentOS decided not to enable PowerTools by default (I think Rocky Linux + Alma Linux do). Does that solve the problem for you?
Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I need to see how I can implement this in puppet. For previous borgbackup releases it was possible to just install it, without the powertools repo.
Yeah, borgbackup grew a new dependency which is only available via PowerTools unfortunately. Enabling the PowerTools repo should be pretty straight-forward though.
