I thought I successfully upgraded from CentOS8 to Centos Stream 8, however I was never able to get dnf distro-sync to work. Now DNF appears to be broken and dnf upgrade throws unsatisfied dependencies for libsmartcols.so.1 in relation to DNF itself.
dnf distro-sync:
When running the sync, the following appears:
Error:
Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: setup
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
I tried every possible combination of --skip-broken, --nobest --allowerasing, etc. to resolve. Tried using the vault versions, no difference. All of the old CentOS repos were removed, so the only repos in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ folder are -Stream-. I do not have any EPEL repos installed at this time.
cat /etc/centos-release => CentOS Stream release 8
The server survives reboots and seems to work correctly for everything else.
When running dnf -y upgrade -v, the following results:

To diagnose the problem, try running: 'rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest'.
You probably have corrupted RPMDB, running 'rpm --rebuilddb' might fix the issue.
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
I have tried cleaning the packages (dnf clean all), removing the cache files, individually trying to update/upgrade each package, etc.. I'm out of ideas.
Any suggestions?
Afer a couple more hours of trying, I was able to resolve it by performing the following:
Copy a CentOS-Base.repo file from another server
Edit the repo file to reflect the vault.centos.org location, turn off gpgcheck
dnf clean all
dnf install libsmartcols-2.32.1-28.el8
Ran dnf -y upgrade again and it worked. Go figure.
Hopefully, this will help someone else with the same or similar issue.

Last night the update manager indicates there are 2 update ready. I want to apply them but at the end only one updates the 2nd one (python 3.10) does not. It was late so went to bed. This morning that update is still there but now there is some more stuff.
Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt focal-pgdg InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
It was not exactly the same as mine related to codelite. I looked in repositories and ppa´s and found an entry for codelite and disabled it. That message was gone. But the update still did not work. This time a problem with the mirror I was using. Changed mirror and all the rest runs fine. Still updating python 3.10 no way. Other updates do pass, even python 3.8 and 3.9. Clearly the problem lies with python 3.10 and seem dependency related but I am stumped.
The deadsnakes repository is there. I removed and reinstalled it. Still same problem.
Here is a screen shoot of my terminal (same messages appear when I use synaptic):
It all turn around two dependencies that python 3.10 needs but are no longer there. But the recommended commands do nothing but return the same result.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
python3.10 : Depends: libpython3.10-stdlib (= 3.10.4-1+focal2) but 3.10.4-1+focal1 is installed
python3.10-minimal : Depends: libpython3.10-minimal (= 3.10.4-1+focal2) but 3.10.4-1+focal1 is installed
So what is going wrong? what apart from focal1 and focal2 is different? And are they fundamentally different? Most importantly how do I solve this problem without going in circles.
Oh and before I forget. My python console in gedit stopped working at the same time as these problems started and I can't make out what the problem there is either. Suspect though they are related. e
Thank you in advance.
Here is how I solved the same issue in Ubuntu 20.04
Locate package libpython3.10-stdlib
$ apt-cache policy libpython3.10-stdlib

Remove manually the package
$ sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpython3.10-stdlib:amd64.* /tmp
Repeat the same steps for libpython3.10-minimal. Then fix the broken packages
$ sudo apt --fix-broken install

I had the same error. I followed the instructions in the first and second answer and I got this:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libpython3.10-stdlib_3.10.4-1+focal2_amd64.debE: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
After move this :
sudo mv /var/cache/apt/archives/libpython3.10-stdlib_3.10.4-1+focal2_amd64.deb /tmp
It works !
Same thing happened to me. When apt fails I go for https://pkgs.org/, search the package, download and install manually. It usually works.
I am trying to install the gdal on my centos 8. I tried with following command
sudo yum install gdal
And it through me following error,
Last metadata expiration check: 0:05:58 ago on Sun 10 Jan 2021 10:52:18 PM EST.
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides libdap.so.25()(64bit) needed by gdal-libs-3.0.4-5.el8.x86_64

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
Please, anyone, suggest to me, how to solve this error?
You can enable the powertools repository to solve this issue,
sudo yum install dnf-plugins-core
sudo yum config-manager --set-enabled powertools
Now you can install the gdal by following code,
sudo yum install gdal-devel
I have installed Icinga2 on my server, which is running CentOS 8. However, I run into problems when I try and install Icinga Web 2.
When I try and run the command yum -y install icingaweb2 icingacli, CentOS cannot find the packages. The following output is given:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:04 ago on Sat 16 Nov 2019 23:22:22 NZDT.
No match for argument: icingaweb2
No match for argument: icingacli
Error: Unable to find a match
It also cannot find the packages centos-release-scl and icingaweb2-selinux.
I've added the Icinga repositories to CentOS manually, including EPEL relase, and they are showing in the yum.repos.d folder. But every time I try and install Icinga Web 2, whether with yum or dnf, I get the same error. I've tried dnf makecache and yum makecache and have updated the packages, but nothing seems to work.
What is going on here?
For install icinga via package management you should add this repo: https://packages.icinga.com/epel/

I try to install MYSQL community edition 8.0 on my Amazon Linux server
Command i have done so far
cd /home/ec2-user
wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-8.0/mysql-8.0.16-2.el7.x86_64.rpm-bundle.tar
tar -xvf mysql-8.0.16-2.el7.x86_64.rpm-bundle.tar
rpm -ivh mysql-community-server-8.0.16-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
I get the following error :
error: Failed dependencies:
libsasl2.so.3()(64bit) is needed by mysql-community-server-8.0.16-2.el7.x86_64
systemd is needed by mysql-community-server-8.0.16-2.el7.x86_64
What i tried by now
The library libsasl2.so.3()(64bit) is included in cyrus-sasl-lib
I tried to install it but still the same result
Here is the command i tried : sudo yum install cyrus-sasl-lib
Operating System
Linux ip-172-31-86-163 4.14.146-93.123.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 24 00:45:23 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Expected Result :
Success
Error Message i have :
Failed dependencies:
libsasl2.so.3()(64bit) is needed by mysql-community-server-8.0.16-2.el7.x86_64
try
yum install /path/to/mysql-8...rpm
then yum will try to find the dependencies you need. If some dependencies cannot be found, you can try downloading them yourself, or enabling repositories. But be careful since you are trying to install recent software on an old os... I don't know if amazon has centos8 machines already, otherwise that would probably help you out :)
Anyone seeing problems with the elrepo archive mirrors not able to install or list all available kernels?
yum list available --showduplicates \

Prior to 10 am today / 6 am UTC our artifactory instance could report multiple kernel-lt packages. After whether I use artifactory or go directly to the remote repository I see nothing:

Direct access to repos fails, so it cannot be artifactory.
The following had no impact:
clean all, makecache
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/ and makecache
Well, there may have been a problem with our artifactory instance but this problem above was caused by an exclude for kernels to avoid automatically changing kernel upon reboot.
Adding --disableexcludes=all to the line allow us to see the kernel-lt packages.
