cannot install the best update candidate
The error indicates that the package remi-release-8.10-2.el8.remi.noarch cannot be installed because it requires redhat-release >= 8.10, which is not available on your system.
Solution:
- Check your Red Hat release version: Run the following command to verify your current Red Hat version:
If the version is lower than 8.10, you may need to update your system or use a different remi-release package compatible with your current version.bashcat /etc/redhat-release
- Use the --nobest option: As suggested in the error message, you can try installing the package with the --nobest flag to allow non-optimal candidates:
bashdnf install remi-release --nobest
- Skip broken packages: Alternatively, use the --skip-broken option to skip packages that cannot be installed:
bashdnf install remi-release --skip-broken
- Install a compatible remi-release version: If the above options don’t work, download and install a remi-release version that matches your Red Hat release. For example, for Red Hat 8.3, use:
- Update your system: If your system is outdated, update it to meet the redhat-release >= 8.10 requirement:
bashnf update
- Clean DNF cache: Clear the DNF cache to rule out metadata issues:
bashdnf clean alldnf makecache
If the issue persists, verify your repository configuration or contact the Remi repository maintainers for assistance.
