ElRepo for EL8 works just fine.

[root@pc69 ~]# yum clean all --enablerepo=elrepo 38 files removed [root@pc69 ~]# yum list --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=elrepo|less

I'm getting the same error in RockyLinux as well

You use an ELRepo mirror which has issues. My test above came from a box running Rocky. Switch to a different mirror and you should be fine.

Thanks, I was able to install it with this command sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm

Above command is installing only epel, I'm still unable to install elrepo. You suggested to switch different mirror can you show me how. I want run this command dnf install kmod-wireguard wireguard-tools

wolfy67 commented 2 years ago

Probably the easiest approach is to edit /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.conf and comment the line mirrorlist=http://mirrors.elrepo.org/mirrors-elrepo.el8

Otherwise you could identify the mirror you actually used and ban it via any method you prefer.

uzairali001 commented 2 years ago

There is no such a file exists /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.conf neither in Centos nor in Rocky Linux instead there is /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo, after editing and commenting out mirrorlist=http://mirrors.elrepo.org/mirrors-elrepo.el8 it's working fine and I'm able to run dnf install kmod-wireguard wireguard-tools.

Thanks

Still not working. Had to comment out the mirrorlist.

pjperry commented 1 year ago

Our mirrorlist server has been under sustained attack for sometime. As mentioned earlier, if connection to our mirrorlist server is proving unreliable, please comment out the mirrorlist line and hard code a local mirror of your choosing which should eliminate the issue for you.
