Problem: conflicting requests trying to install borgbackup

Rocky Linux Tech Help
1

Hi, I am running an up to date Rocky Linux 8.10,

I just did:
sudo dnf install borgbackup

And got:
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests

  • nothing provides python3.6dist(packaging) needed by borgbackup-1.1.18-2.el8.x86_64 from epel
    (try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages or ‘–nobest’ to use not only best candidate packages)

What would be the best way to resolve this?

I am not an IT person, just a home user of Rocky workstation, so answers that are at a beginners level would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Try:

sudo dnf --enablerepo=powertools install borgbackup

If that is ok, then enable that repo for future convenience:

sudo dnf config-manager --enable powertools
