I’m trying to understand this:

```auto
rpm -q epel-release
epel-release-9-4.el9.noarch

```

```auto
dnf --enablerepo "epel" install PySolFC

```

```auto
nothing provides python3-pygame needed by PySolFC-2.15.0-2.el9.noarch

```

I’m not sure why this is happening, as epel normally provides the dependencies that it needs?

There is an open bug report about this: [2105747 – PysolFC Can't install dependencies.](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2105747)

Thanks, that’s interesting, so it’s probably just this one package that is affected.
