New Post 5

 Info: 

We're nearly there. perl, gdk-pixbuf2 and python3-pip have all cleared, and every server now shows the same 4 packages. They're all part of the gcc compiler family, and this is the "second small round" I mentioned earlier: the new gcc -30 needs its own partners too.

Installed	Why it's blocking	Download
gcc-plugin-annobin 8.5.0-28	Must be the same version as gcc	gcc-plugin-annobin-8.5.0-30.el8_10.x86_64.rpm
annobin 11.13-2.el8	Built for the old gcc	Newest annobin for RHEL 8 (version below)
redhat-rpm-config 131-1	Depends on annobin	Probably nothing. It should clear once annobin is updated.
gcc 8.5.0-28	Can't move up until the 3 above can	Already in your repo

1. Get the exact versions dnf wants. Run this on one server:

ssh rbb-ref-a-vlim02 "sudo dnf update --assumeno 2>&1 | grep -E 'annobin|redhat-rpm-config'"

Look for the lines that say "requires ...". They tell you the exact annobin version, and whether redhat-rpm-config needs a newer version too.

2. Download and rebuild. Download those packages from Red Hat's AppStream repo, the same way you did the last batch. Then:

1. scp them to /var/www/html/rhel-8-10-nov2026.
2. Run wizard Step 2 and answer y.
3. Run dnf clean all on every server.
4. Run the dry run again.

If that output is unclear, send it to me and I'll give you the exact file names.

Shortcut if you'd rather not chase this: these 4 are only build tools for compiling software. Normal app servers rarely need them. You could add gcc* cpp annobin redhat-rpm-config libgomp to the playbook's "Exclude some packages" list for this round, and they'd stay at their current version. That's a playbook change, though, so it needs your senior engineer's OK.
