installation problem (Error Enabling powertools Repository in Ansible Playbook )

[thenveerpk]

I’m encountering an error while running the prepare_machine.sh script, specifically during the task that enables the powertools repository on a CentOS/Rocky Linux 8 system.

Here are the details:

TASK [repository_crb : PowerTools repository is enabled (CentOS/Rocky/etc. 8)] ****************************************************************************************************************************

Hello,

Our Ansible roles are not tested on an enterprise system like RHEL8. We recommend using Oracle Linux or Rocky Linux, which are tested and supported if possible.

The error is probably caused by different naming of the powertools repository on RHEL. You can try replacing this name in the ansible/roles/repository_crb/tasks/main.yaml file where the problematic step is located.

Regards
