I am facing the same issue while trying to install MariaDB from official repositories. Is there any new info on this?

[max312]

Okay, i found a fix (that was fast I know :D)

I needed to set "module_hotfixes=1" inside the repo file
the option is available in the ansible.builtin.yum_repository module

Maybe this fixes this bug too?

That alone didn't seem to fix the issue, unfortunately. Still tinkering...

Hi everyone!

In case it helps, I was experiencing the same issue in my environment and the error in my case was that I was able to successfully add the repo for Varnish5.2 but as the version is deprecated, no packages were available in that repo.

I fixed the issue by using the Varnish 6.0 LTS release instead

PS: Thanks for your huge help to the community @geerlingguy you are a rockstar! :)
