dnf regularly complains: Problem 1: conflicting requests - nothing provides module(perl:5.26) needed by module perl-App-cpanminus:1.7044:8030020200723233049:09acf126.x86_64 Problem 2: conflicting requests - nothing provides module(perl:5.26) needed by module perl-DBD-MySQL:4.046:8030020200716171139:3a70019f.x86_64 Problem 3: conflicting requests - nothing provides module(perl:5.26) needed by module perl-DBI:1.641:8030020200716150652:1e4bbb35.x86_64 Problem 4: conflicting requests - nothing provides module(perl:5.26) needed by module perl-FCGI:0.78:8030020200618214557:1e4bbb35.x86_64 Problem 5: conflicting requests - nothing provides module(perl:5.26) needed by module perl-IO-Socket-SSL:2.066:8040020200924212038:1aedcbfe.x86_64 Problem 6: conflicting requests - nothing provides module(perl:5.26) needed by module perl-YAML:1.24:8050020211111222949:28ca5b4a.x86_64 Problem 7: conflicting requests - nothing provides module(perl:5.26) needed by module perl-libwww-perl:6.34:8040020211102170116:bf75fe78.x86_64 This seems similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1772953, but that claims to have been fixed long ago, so :shrug:. This is happening after upgrading from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8.
Could you please provide output of 'yum module list perl' and version of CentOS which you use?

The exact version of CentOS will be useful. Please send me output from: rpm -qf /etc/centos-release rpm -qa dnf
I am not longer able to reproduce this issue. I don't know what was going on before. I.e., I was unable to find a dnf command tonight which, when I ran it, produced the error output above. I honestly don't remember what commands previously produced that output; I didn't make note of it since it was happening so often that I just assumed it was every command, but I'm not sure what was true. I just successfully did "dnf module install perl:5.26", but to be clear, even before I did that tonight I was unable to reproduce the issue. :shrug: Here's the information you asked for just in case it is still useful: jik4:/var/lib!1227# rpm -qf /etc/centos-release centos-stream-release-8.6-1.el8.noarch jik4:/var/lib!1228# rpm -qa dnf dnf-4.7.0-5.el8.noarch jik4:/var/lib!1229# It may be relevant that centos-stream-repos was updated after I filed this issue: Name : centos-stream-repos Version : 8 Release : 4.el8 Architecture: noarch Install Date: Sun 23 Jan 2022 04:05:02 PM EST
After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release. Therefore, it is being closed. If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
