Check if you do get positive answer with:

dnf --enablerepo=powertools provides 'libqhull_r.so.7()(64bit)'

The ‘powertools’ repo (that Rocky has) corresponds to RHEL 8’s CodeReadyBuilder repo and is disabled by default.
In principle the packages in powertools are used only by software developers, but in practice some (third-party) packages do have runtime dependencies too.

RHEL 8 has three main repos:

  • baseos – content has 10 year support
  • appstream – individual streams have varying support (some only a year or two)
  • CodeReadyBuilder – no support at all

You probably want to set the powertools repo enabled, if you install packages that depend on packages in powertools:

dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
