Hello Community, I am running into an issue while trying to install the `mariadb-devel` package on my Rocky Linux 9 server. When I try to install it using the following command: ```auto dnf install mariadb-devel ``` I receive the error : ```auto All matches were filtered out by modular filtering for argument: mariadb-devel Error: Unable to find a match: mariadb-devel ``` I’ve tried a few solutions, including: - Disabling modular filtering with `--setopt=module_platform_id=platform:el9`. - Checking and clearing the metadata cache with `dnf clean all` and `dnf makecache`. - Searching for the package via `dnf search mariadb-devel`, but no results were found. - Attempting to install from the MariaDB from “devel” repository enabled by running `dnf install mariadb-devel --enablerepo=devel`, but still no success in installing the package. I also verified the repository configuration and attempted to reset any active module streams with `dnf module reset mariadb -y`. Here are some additional details: - I have internet connectivity, and other packages are installing fine. - The package `mariadb-devel` is needed for development purposes (compiling and building against MariaDB). Has anyone else faced a similar issue with installing `mariadb-devel` on Rocky Linux 9? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! ---

Try: ```auto crb enable dnf install mariadb-devel ``` ---

I was trying to enable it using the command: ```auto crb enable ``` However, I was receiving the error: ```auto bash: crb: command not found ``` After some troubleshooting and helpful suggestions from a community member, I learned that I needed to use `dnf config-manager` to enable the CRB repository, but first, I had to install the `dnf-plugins-core` package to have access to the `config-manager` command. ### Here’s the solution that worked for me: 1. **Install `dnf-plugins-core`** (if not already installed): ```auto sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core ``` 1. **Enable the CRB repository** : Once the plugins are installed, use the `dnf config-manager` command to enable the CRB repository: ```auto sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb ``` 1. **Verify the repository** : After enabling CRB, I verified that it was enabled using: ```auto dnf repolist ``` And the CRB repository was listed among the enabled repositories. I would like to especially thank **@iwalker** for pointing me in the right direction and helping me figure out that I needed `crb enabled`. Your suggestion was very helpful! Thanks again to the community for the support! ---

Strange that the crb command wasn’t there as it should usually be installed by default. But for completeness the crb command does the same as what you did manually using the dnf plugins just to actually type less 🙂 ---

> [@iwalker](#): > > Strange that the crb command wasn’t there as it should usually be installed by default. On AlmaLinux 9 the `dnf provides */crb` says that Alma packs the ‘crb’ into `epel-release`, which is not installed by default. If Rocky does the same, ‘epel-release’ is installed, and no ‘crb’ then something is odd. The ‘crb’ is a script that essentially runs: `dnf config-manager --enable crb` (The config-manager accepts both --enable and --set-enabled.) ---

The user did not indicate they installed epel-release, thus it stands to reason that the `crb` command does not exist. ---
