Problem with python3-pyOpenSSL

Rocky Linux Help & Support

This has been happening over the last couple of days on two of my systems. I can’t find a workaround (in ai/google)

#yum update --refresh
Error:
Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for package python3-pyOpenSSL-25.0.0-1.el10_1.noarch
-nothing provides (python3.12dist(cryptography) < 50~~ with python3.12dist(cryptography) >= 49) needed by python3-pyOpenSSL-26.3.0-1.el10_3.noarch from epel
(try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages or ‘–nobest’ to use not only best candidate packages)

#rpm -qa |grep -i epel
epel-release-10-8.el10_2.noarch
#cat /etc/redhat-release
Rocky Linux release 10.2 (Red Quartz)

RHEL 9.9 and 10.3 have just been released, and EPEL is now at that release. Until Rocky 9.9 and 10.3 is released, this problem will exist.

Easiest, just disable EPEL repository temporarily. Or just wait a few days until the new Rocky release is published.

These.

With Rocky 10 one can try:

dnf --releasever=10.2 up --refresh

as Rocky’s mirrors should resolve that to the current Rocky 10 repos and
EPEL’s mirror’s resolve to the copy of EPEL that was built for el10_2.

(yum is mere symlink to dnf – they are same command)

Note also that next to no new packages will enter the current Rocky 10 repos
now that RHEL 10.3 has been released – all effort is in releasing 10.3 for Rocky 10.

The --releasever=10.2 will naturally cause trouble once 10.3 is released for Rocky.

There is only one version of EPEL for 9, so there the releasever does not help.
