centos-8 broken (EOL)
centos-stream-8 works
epel-8-x86_64 broken
epel-next-8-x86_64 works
eurolinux-8-x86_64 works
oraclelinux-8-x86_64 works
rhel-8-x86_64 no subscription
rockylinux worksCheck what /etc/mock/epel-8-x86_64.cfg is linked to on your system. If it is not linked to anything then it is going to be broken and either trying to use the Fedora koji or using data from CentOS mirrors which no longer exist. First step is decide which OS you will use to build EPEL packages against: Rocky, Alma, Oracle, RHEL.$ sudo -i# cd /etc/mock# mv epel-8-x86_64.cfg epel-8-x86_64-old.cfg# ln -s alma+epel-8-x86_64.cfg epel-8-x86_64.cfgChange alma+ to the OS you want to use.Ok, that's simple enough, but I have to ask the obvious question. :)Why isn't this fixed in the package? Though I do remember the thread Gary referenced, still I would think it would be a good idea to choose ANY of them if for no other reason than to not leave things broken.
Because any choice was going to look like favoritism and people are rather particular about which OS they run. The mock people are caught in the middle and don't really want to be there.
