EPEL packages missing in DNF but present on repo (Rocky 10)

I’ve been having problems with packages that I know are in EPEL not being seen in DNF.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding something, but if I look at

I can see mediainfo in there, but when I try to install it with DNF it’s not there. I try listing the repo with:

dnf repoquery --repo=epel | grep mediainfo

It’s missing. Same with other packages–if I remove the the grep there I get a bunch of packages, but only a subset of what’s on the repo pages when I browse with my web browser.

Sorry for not knowing how to format text properly on here, I don’t spend much time on forums and almost never post.

I’m sure I’m just missing something stupid here, but let me know if you have any ideas. I’ve tried several installations on a multiple machines, EPEL is enabled of course, as is CRB.

edit: removed bad example

You are looking at EPEL 10.1 (or epel-next, whatever references they still may use). The way dirs are structured now for EPEL has changed starting in 10. You will have to wait for 10.1 to release to get that package if the maintainer has no plans to build it for EPEL 10.0. (I suppose alternatively you can try to build it yourself via mock).

10 usually points to the next release, in this case it’s 10.1

10z usually points to the stable release, in this case it’s 10.0.

Regular EPEL (stable) installs point here for the “m” packages for example:

Okay, thanks, that’s a big help. Most of what I was reading was outdated then.
