ESET install error on Rocky 8.9 version

[jeevanal]

Rocky 8.9 local repo is created and the ESET is being installed from Rocky client servers. Perl packages exists on the repo server but still getting the below error. Could someone help on this.

ESET installation is failing for Rocky8.9 withe the below error:
No available modular metadata for modular package ‘perl-4:5.32.1-472.module+el8.8.0+1134+a197a740.x86_64’, it cannot be installed on the system
No available modular metadata for modular package ‘perl-Algorithm-Diff-1.1903-10.module+el8.6.0+879+823e3012.noarch’, it cannot be installed on the system
No available modular metadata for modular package ‘perl-Archive-Tar-2.38-3.module+el8.6.0+879+823e3012.noarch’, it cannot be installed on the system

ESET Version 10.2.41.0 for Linux

It appears you synced our repos and ran createrepo. This destroys modular metadata and will cause issues like these. I recommend properly doing a reposync keeping all metadata available.

Note: Rocky Linux 8.9 is no linger supported.

Process that we followed to create localrepo was downloading the Rocky 8.9 ISO file and created repo for Appstream and BaseOS. Is there any other process like using reposync commands for Rocky as well similar to Centos. If so could you please provide the details of reposync commands.

To create Rocky 8 repo server, we have downloaded the Rocky 8.9 ISO and copied Appstream and baseos folders to /var/www/html and then created repodata there. We have used this localrepo URL on repo clients to get updates.

We are using 9.4 for all other roles. Rocky 8.9 is used for 1 role which is product dependent.

The correct way to sync any repository is to maintain its repodata. Do not run createrepo.

When syncing from our mirror:

# rocky 8
dnf reposync -g --delete -p /path/to/baseos --download-metadata --repoid=baseos
dnf reposync -g --delete -p /path/to/appstream --download-metadata --repoid=appstream
dnf reposync -g --delete -p /path/to/powertools --download-metadata --repoid=powertools
dnf reposync -g --delete -p /path/to/extras --download-metadata --repoid=extras
# rocky 9
dnf reposync -g --delete -p /path/to/baseos --download-metadata --repoid=baseos
dnf reposync -g --delete -p /path/to/appstream --download-metadata --repoid=appstream
dnf reposync -g --delete -p /path/to/crb --download-metadata --repoid=crb
dnf reposync -g --delete -p /path/to/extras --download-metadata --repoid=extras

When syncing from an ISO.

mount -o loop /path/to/iso /mnt
rsync -vrlptDSH --delete /mnt/AppStream/ AppStream
rsync -vrlptDSH --delete /mnt/BaseOS/ BaseOS

Thanks a lot for the above details. I have tried reposync commands on reposerver as below.

dnf reposync -g --delete -p /var/www/html/Rocky8/OS/ --download-metadata --repoid=BaseOS
dnf reposync -g --delete -p /var/www/html/Rocky8/OS/ --download-metadata --repoid=AppStream
dnf reposync -g --delete -p /var/www/html/Rocky8/OS/ --download-metadata --repoid=extras

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 38 Jun 2 13:10 AppStream
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 38 Jun 2 13:05 BaseOS
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 56 Jun 2 13:25 extras

Below is the error when doing yum update

ROCKY-AppStream 143 MB/s | 7.9 MB 00:00

You are getting that error because your repos are configured to point to your local ones already that have the wrong metadata. You should use the repo ids that are default in our rocky-repos package. Look for them here:

• Rocky 8: Rocky-BaseOS.repo, Rocky-AppStream.repo, Rocky-Extras.repo
• Rocky 9: rocky.repo, rocky-extras.repo

You will find the ID’s are the same as the ones in my example above.

Thanks for your inputs. That resolved my issue when syncing from files with ISO using the below method.

mount -o loop /path/to/iso /mnt
rsync -vrlptDSH --delete /mnt/AppStream/ AppStream
rsync -vrlptDSH --delete /mnt/BaseOS/ BaseOS
