I am building a new workstation based on EL8 now. As someone else here mentioned, the raw EL8 distribution is unusable as a workstation. Therefore I am building lot of additional packages. Today I came across a problem with a custom package with an Epoch version, that kills the yum/dnf update process (it tries to find a "best" package etc.). My actually question; is the RPM Epoch stanza obsolete now (for EL8)? I remember that they also started to delete Groups categories ...
Epoch still exists and is used.. but is now not the top dog in all transactions. What exactly is the package and what is it trying to 'replace'?
When I have run into this.. it is usually a modular package which is installed or available and dnf/yum says 'cant replace X with Y'
