So mirrormanager does not know what `repo=epel-8.2` is. You may be able to install packages by either editing the epel.repo to say `repo=epel-8` OR change the baseurl to point to the 8.2 snapshot in archives: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/8.2.2020-11-04/ > Thanks, > Richard > _______________________________________________ > epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure -- Stephen J Smoogen.
