A source package for texinfo exists here: <http://archive.kernel.org/centos-vault/8.0.1905/BaseOS/Source/SPackages/> I see no binary package for it here: <https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/centos/8.0.1905/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/> I tried "dnf builddep" on the texinfo source package and it wants help2man. I can't find either a source or binary package for that. (I see one in the CentOS 7 repo.) Another missing dependency is 'perl(Unicode::EastAsianWidth)'. dnf can't find a package that supplies that. (The end goal is to figure out where ls.c is getting an implementation of strmode() which is doing weird things, truncating the mode string when the user or group field is zero.)
