#9424 Retire rpms/whois, rpms/perl-Convert-ASN1, rpms/perl-LDAP in EPEL8
Closed: Fixed 3 years ago by mohanboddu. Opened 3 years ago by ppisar.

RHEL 8.2 introduced rpms/whois, rpms/perl-Convert-ASN1, and rpms/perl-LDAP packages. They exist in EPEL8 and should be removed from EPEL. I tried to retire them with "fedpkg retire", but I got rejected with:

Fedora release (epel8) is in state 'current' - retire operation is not allowed.

Please retire them in epel8 and epel8-playground branches.

This is a fedpkg issue - https://pagure.io/fedpkg/issue/395

I will fix send a PR to fedpkg to fix it, once approved, I will retire them for you.

As a workaround, you can retire packages by git rm-ing all files and creating dead.package.
fedpkg retire only does that :)

I did it manually. I also did it in epel8-playground. Although I'm not sure if this is the proper way because epel8 branch had package.cfg file.

Everything seems right. The packages will be blocked in epel8 during next compose run.
