[LON-CAPA-admin] Package issues updating to RHEL8

[Lucas, Mark]

Looking for advice.

With Centos 7 reaching end of life, our servers are being moved to RHEL 8.

The systems group prepping the RHEL 8 machine found the following error with the package
installation. My understanding is that they mirror the LONCAPA repositories locally (thus the
OIT_LONCAPA_loncapa_rhel8_x86_64 repository - OIT is Ohio Information Technology).

The error they get is:

Error: 
Problem: package LONCAPA-prerequisites-1-26.1.rhel8.noarch from OIT_LONCAPA_loncapa_rhel8_noarch requires perl-HTML-Parser_loncapa, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - package perl-HTML-Parser_loncapa-3.72-1.0.el8.lc.x86_64 from OIT_LONCAPA_loncapa_rhel8_x86_64 is filtered out by modular filtering

Does anyone have any insights or workarounds?

Thanks!
Mark
