Hi All,

After installing a few dependencies manually I did this...

dnf -v install  mythtv mythtv-backend mythtv-base-themes mythtv-common 
mythtv-docs mythtv-libs mythtv-setup perl-MythTV php-MythTV 
python3-MythTV mytharchive.x86_64 mythbrowser.x86_64 mythffmpeg.x86_64 
mythmusic.x86_64 mythnews.x86_64 mythplugins.x86_64 mythweather.x86_64 
mythweb.noarch mythtv-frontend --allowerasing --best --skip-broken

Everything was installed except two key packages with this error message 
at the end of the install

Skipped:
mysql-8.0.21-1.module_el8.3.0+2049+47abd494.x86_64 
mythtv-31.0-19.158.20210629git0680b37c68.el8.x86_64
mythtv-frontend-31.0-19.158.20210629git0680b37c68.el8.x86_64


I then tried this

dnf install  mythtv mythtv-frontend --allowerasing --disablerepo=appstream


Last metadata expiration check: 1:00:28 ago on Mon 06 Sep 2021 15:38:05 BST.
Error:
  Problem 1: conflicting requests
   - nothing provides perl(JSON) needed by 
mythtv-31.0-19.158.20210629git0680b37c68.el8.x86_64
   - nothing provides perl(XML::XPath) needed by 
mythtv-31.0-19.158.20210629git0680b37c68.el8.x86_64
  Problem 2: conflicting requests
   - nothing provides mysql(x86-64) >= 5 needed by 
mythtv-frontend-31.0-19.158.20210629git0680b37c68.el8.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' 
to use not only best candidate packages)


I could manually install the two perl packages, and force the rest of 
the installation. But this is getting really messy, but I guess its to 
do with how dnf sorts out the versioning between mysql and mariadb

Anyone with far greater insight into dnf able to offer some guidance.

Thanks

Ken
