Strange enough telnet seems to be missing in Rock 9. I’ve tried both the x86\_64 and aarch64 versions and the package seems to be missing from the AppStrem repository. I can find it however on RHEL9 and Alma 9 AppStreams… Is this on purpose? I hate to see Rocky following the steps of macOS… But ftp is there… so I guess it’s merely missing. ---

Not all repos are synced yet, they are overloaded right now as everyone tries to sync. I installed from DVD iso, so have telnet anyway so it is there. If the repo data hasn’t got it: ```auto dnf clean all dnf search telnet ``` maybe just cleaning and refreshing you might find a mirror that has almost finished. If not, should be sorted soon once all the mirrors have synced. ---

@aviegas ```nohighlight dnf -y install telnet ``` I just installed telnet. It seems that there is no problem The package is located at: …/appstream/Packages/t/telnet-0.17-85.e19.x86\_ 64.rpm ---

based on @joebeasley3 link it only show up for x86\_x64 right now but not for other arch [https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9.0/AppStream/aarch64/os/Packages/t/](https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9.0/AppStream/aarch64/os/Packages/t/) [https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9.0/AppStream/ppc64le/os/Packages/t/](https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9.0/AppStream/ppc64le/os/Packages/t/) [https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9.0/AppStream/s390x/os/Packages/t/](https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9.0/AppStream/s390x/os/Packages/t/) so not sure if it repo sync thing or it missed for other arch ---

Actually that could be a reason, good observation @JustSomeone but definitely exists for x86\_64. ---

Yeap, I also noticed that it’s available for x86\_64 (see my second post) but still no aarch64. Also, it’s not on the DVD image: [root@dhcp104 t]# uname -a Linux [dhcp104.xxxxxxxx.com](http://dhcp104.xxxxxxxx.com) 5.14.0-70.13.1.el9.aarch64 #1 SMP Fri May 27 02:01:33 UTC 2022 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux [root@dhcp104 t]# pwd /mnt/AppStream/Packages/t [root@dhcp104 t]# ls telnet\* ls: cannot access ‘telnet\*’: No such file or directory ---

[https://bugs.rockylinux.org/view.php?id=146](https://bugs.rockylinux.org/view.php?id=146) Let’s hope it’s fixed soon, as it’s rather simple. For the time being one solution for those who need a telnet client is the grab the rpm from RHEL 9 or Alma and install from the command line. Once it’s fixed remove and reinstall. ---

This is a known issue, see: [https://bugs.rockylinux.org/view.php?id=146](https://bugs.rockylinux.org/view.php?id=146) I recommend in the meantime using the nc command instead from the nmap-ncat package in appstream. ---

Try: ```auto dnf clean all dnf install telnet ``` that will clear your synced repodata, and sync it again before attempting to install the package. ```auto [root@rocky9-aarch64 ian]# dnf install telnet Last metadata expiration check: 0:03:42 ago on Wed 27 Jul 2022 09:26:19 PM CEST.
