[HTCondor-users] pcre2-tools nameing mismatch in condor-upgrade-checks package definition

["Kiesel, Thomas" <Thomas.Kiesel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

We are encountering an issue with the installation of HTCondor 24.0.2 on a freshly installed RHEL 9.5 system. The installation fails because the dependency on the 'pcre2-tools' package defined in the 'condor-upgrade-checks' package cannot be found. In the official RHEL 9 and EPEL repositories, I can only find the pcre2 package. The 'pcre2-tools' package is only available in Debian-based repositories, and I suspect there is a naming difference in the package definition.

console output:
dnf install condor

Error:

 Problem: package condor-24.0.2-1.el9.x86_64 from htcondor requires condor-upgrade-checks, but none of the providers can be installed

  - cannot install the best candidate for the job

  - nothing provides pcre2-tools needed by condor-upgrade-checks-24.0.1-1.el9.x86_64 from htcondor

  - nothing provides pcre2-tools needed by condor-upgrade-checks-24.0.2-1.el9.x86_64 from htcondor

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Could someone please check this assumption and show us a solution?

Thank you.
