can not install - nothing provides perl(Exception::Class) >= 1.31 needed by clusterssh-4.16-1.el8.noarch

[wl72096]

HI: having trouble installing clusterssh - getting this error:

dnf install clusterssh.noarch

Last metadata expiration check: 3:23:56 ago on Wed 07 Jul 2021 07:07:06 PM EDT.
Error:
Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job

• nothing provides perl(Exception::Class) >= 1.31 needed by clusterssh-4.16-1.el8.noarch
  (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

I do have perl installed:

which perl

/usr/bin/perl

perl --version

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 3 (v5.26.3) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi
(with 55 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

uname -r

4.18.0-305.3.1.el8_4.x86_64

Please advise how to resolve the issue. Thanks a lot!

@duncs maybe having docker based CI would reflect the reality better. See examples:
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/actions
https://github.com/iputils/iputils/actions
(both migrated from travis to github actions)

For me, the solution (worked on RockyLinux 8) was to enable the PowerTools repo by following the instructions on https://www.how2shout.com/linux/how-to-enable-powertools-repository-on-rocky-linux-8/ first.

The command dnf install clusterssh.noarch then succeeded.
