No match for argument: libvirt-devel
Error: Unable to find a match: libvirt-develOn RHEL 9 based systems, the package might not be available in the default enabled repositories. However, we can enable appropriate repo to get the package and install it on the local system.
To solve the error, first enable crb repository.
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crbThe crb (“CodeReady Builder“) repository contains additional packages for Red Hat-based distributions not in Base and AppStream. Most packages available on this repository are development tools and libraries.
Once the repository is active, retry the installation of the libvirt-devel package.
$ sudo dnf install libvirt-devel
