Ahhh!!! You're on CentOS 8! You need to activate the new "Devel" repo
in /etc/yum.repos.d, Red Hat, upstream, elected not to publish the
"quota-devel" binariy RPM, which you can rebuild it yourself from the
quota SRPM and which CentOS is sanely putting in a new channel to
provide it somewhat separately from Red Hat's deliberately emasculated
channel. This move is costing RHEL subscriptions which are migrating
to CentOS to avoid dealing with this.

I'm unhappy with this decision, and expressed it to Red Hat with my
RHEL subscriptions, combined with the "modularity" interweaving of
packages like the pretend version of python3-devel being renamed and
mishandled as a modular "platform" package,  It's combining with the
excessive and misaligned "multiple repos" to make RHEL 8 and CentOS 8
much more difficult upgrades with features that were *not* tested in
Fedora.
