Maybe you just need > an update. I certainly do not have those below, I do have 'extras' (my last c&p was short). My install was from early days of cenOS 9, perhaps before offical public image. > [root at cs9 ~]# rpm -qa | grep release | sort > centos-stream-release-9.0-12.el9.noarch > epel-next-release-9-2.el9.noarch > epel-release-9-2.el9.noarch -> $ rpm -qa | grep release | sort centos-stream-release-9.0-12.el9.noarch epel-next-release-9-2.el9.noarch epel-release-9-2.el9.noarch > > [root at cs9 ~]# dnf repolist all | grep extras > extras-common CentOS Stream 9 - Extras > packages enabled > extras-common-source CentOS Stream 9 - Extras > packages - Source disabled What would an "update" constitute? I do check for updates regularly and if there are any I get them, as of today 'dnf' tells me: I'm up to day, no updates. I think that as that error from my c&p, which I did not highlight, might matter here - some relic from that early days which did not, does not, get updated? > > [root at cs9 ~]# dnf list "*release*" > ... > centos-release-gluster9.noarch 1.0-2.el9s > extras-common > centos-release-hyperscale.noarch 9-4.el9s > extras-common > ... > > Troy >
