We are new to using dnf, converting from yum. The dnf download plugin on OL8 is refusing to download any nodejs packages from our nexus server. It downloads any other package we ask for with no fuss.
The full name of the nodejs package is nodejs-14.18.0-1nodesource.x86_64. Other similar versions fail in the same manner.
The failure behaves as if the nodejs package is not listed in the repodata. The message is "No package nodejs-... available.", the same as if I asked for "NoSuchPackage-1.0". Adding "-v" (or several) generates no additional relevant data. Nothing is logged, but this is not running as root, so the dnf logs are not writeable.
The dnf version is 4.7.0.2 and the dnf-plugins-core version is 4.0.21.
We are transitioning our build servers from CentOS7 to OL8; downloading via the same command line and yum configuration from the same nexus instance works on C7, the dnf version there is 4.0.9.2 and the plugin version is 4.0.2.2.
My next step is to run "git diff" between these versions, but that's going to be very noisy, I suspect, especially since there are at least three different git repos involved.
