I every all Today, I have a problem to install augeas-devel on my system, buy yum say “rror: Unable to find a match: augeas-devel” but I see that it’s availlable here : [Rocky Linux Repository](https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/devel/x86_64/os/Packages/a/) Why I can’t install it ? Need epel-release or another repository ? Thanks ---

Just do: ```auto dnf --enablerepo=devel install augeas-devel ``` since devel repo is not enabled by default. A repo needs to be enabled or you need to pass a command like above to temporarily enable to install packages, etc. ---

```auto sudo dnf install epel-release sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb ``` Then try again Just saw Iwalker reply. So it appears to be available in both rocky-devel repo and on epel as per this: ```auto $ sudo dnf install augeas-devel Last metadata expiration check: 0:11:20 ago on Sat 11 Apr 2026 07:04:31 AM EDT. Dependencies resolved. ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: augeas-devel x86_64 1.14.1-3.el9 crb 18 k Installing dependencies: cmake-filesystem x86_64 3.26.5-3.el9_7 appstream ``` So you have to pick one or the other. ---

Hmm strange that crb and devel have exactly the same version. Surprised it appears in two places but I guess there is a reason for it. Incidently, crb is a Rocky repo, so epel isn’t needed for it. So it’s also just enough to enable the crb repo and use that, or the devel one. The only time you would need epel for it is if you wanted to use `crb enable` instead of the `dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb` command. ---

I guess I don’t understand the relationship between the two repos that causes crb to be enabled in the different ways stated above. This is more for future reference so I don’t give erroneous help. ---

> [@jbkt23](#): > > I guess I don’t understand the relationship between the two repos that causes crb to be enabled in the different ways stated above. This is more for future reference so I don’t give erroneous help. To use `crb enable`, this command is provided by the `epel-release` package. If for example you haven’t installed `epel-release` then you won’t be able to use it. In which case you can use the longer dnf command as you mentioned, so `dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb`. Both effectively do the same job, just `crb enable` can only be used as the `epel-release` package provides the `/usr/bin/crb` binary. ---

So it’s a convenience provided by epel for whatever reason. Why does epel provide a binary “crb” for the repository crb? There’s no man page for crb so I’d have to download the crb source to know what it does. I guess this goes back into the history of the creation of the epel repo back when “Powertools” was the redhat extra tools repo. ---

Apparently powertools was named because of a grey area by calling it codeready-builder (was supposedly copyrighted or something like that), but since like RHEL9 and higher it’s been fine to use crb as the shortcut for codeready-builder. EPEL probably provides the command for convenience, since `crb enable` is far shorter than writing `dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb` and that’s about all it does is save you a bit of time. Also, because some EPEL packages rely on packages from crb repository as dependencies. ---
