I cannot install alien | CentOS 8

Question

I've a problem with my CentOS.

When I've tried to install alien (el7 package, because el8 isn't available), I got this error (My CentOS has Polish language)

[mlodybukk@localhost Pobrane]$ sudo yum install alien
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity

Błąd: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.16.3) needed by alien-8.90-3.el7.nux.noarch

How can I repair this?

Polish is my native language. If i'll change language to English i won't understand some words :( — mlodybukk, Jul 05 '20 at 21:12

Try enabling the Perl dnf module:

dnf module enable perl:5.26

And try installing alien again.

Alien gave the same error like before :( – mlodybukk Jul 06 '20 at 18:55
The version for CentOS 7 won’t install on CentOS 8. You need to rebuild the package or find someone willing to do it for you. – jsbillings Jul 06 '20 at 19:19
Thank you, I've rebuilt that. Now it's working. You can write your comment as answer, I'll give you accepted answer. ;) Have a nice day! – mlodybukk Jul 06 '20 at 19:50

I've enabled powertools and this fixed the issue on RockyLinux (Centos8)

dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
