I requested a CentOS 8 Stream server from IT at $DAYJOB, but it's not IT approved, so
they gave me a RHEL 8.2 instance. Well fine, I don't need their support but
whatever...
I went to enable EPEL per the docs[1]:
$ sudo dnf install
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
$ sudo subscription-manager repos --enable
"codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-$(arch)-rpms"
So far so good, now I try a 'sudo dnf --refresh update' and get:
$ sudo dnf --refresh update
Updating Subscription Management repositories.

What gives?
the problem is that the system seems to be RHEL-EUS with 8.2 and EPEL
is rolling with latest RHEL. So mirrormanager does not know what
`repo=epel-8.2` is. You may be able to install packages by either
editing the epel.repo to say `repo=epel-8` OR change the baseurl to
point to the 8.2 snapshot in archives:
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/8.2.2020-11-04/
Thanks,
Richard
