Hi,

I've noticed when attempting to install postgis via the postgresql rpm
repositories that some packages are missing that I think should be
included
in the common repo, see below:

Error:
 Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job
   - nothing provides proj90 >= 9.0.1 needed by

postgis33_15-3.3.2-1.rhel8.x86_64

Note that proj90 9.0.0 is in the rhel-8-x86_64 common repo, but has
the
wrong minor version.

Additionally when attempting to install gdal35 separately there are
other
packages that seem to exist in the common repo for rhel 7 but not rhel
8:

- nothing provides ogdi41 needed by gdal35-libs-3.5.2-3.rhel8.x86_64
- nothing provides libqhull_r.so.7()(64bit) needed by

gdal35-libs-3.5.2-3.rhel8.x86_64

It looks like libqhull_r may available via another RHEL repository,
but
ogdi41 appears to have been (at least for RHEL 7) provided as part of
the
common repo, is this meant to be missing from the common repo / can it
be
added? (i see "ogdi" may be provided via other means but havent found
"ogdi41")

Thanks for the report. It was a result of mistake I did last week.
Apologies for the inconvenience I caused.

Fixed it today. You should be able to install PostGIS, gdal35, etc.

Regards,
