CentOS 8 cannot install zoneminder

I apologize ahead of time as this is probably a simple fix that I should have caught but here is my issue. I have install installed zoneminder multiple times before successfully (its been a few years though). I did a fresh install of CentOS Linux 8 (core) today. I then proceeded to install zoneminder, referencing the official help docs but am unable to get past the install step. Below are the commands I ran.
From install guide "ZoneMinder releases are now being hosted at RPM Fusion. New users should navigate the RPM Fusion site then follow the instructions to enable that repo." I then went to the link for RPM Fusion
https://rpmfusion.org/ and found and ran the following command as root in CentOS which completed successfully.
sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck
https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el ... noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree ... noarch.rpm
From install guide "RHEL/CentOS users must also navaigate to the EPEL Site and enable that repo as well." I then navigated to the link
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL and found and ran the following commands. The first of which said nothing to do and complete.
yum install
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/e ... noarch.rpm
yum config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
From install guide "Once enabled, install ZoneMinder from the commandline:
sudo dnf install zoneminder
Note that RHEL/CentOS 7 users should use yum instead of dnf." I then ran the following command
sudo yum install zoneminder
The response I get is:
[root@localhost ~]# sudo yum install zoneminder
Last metadata expiration check: 0:21:27 ago on Fri 27 Sep 2019 10:47:07 AM CDT.
No match for argument: zoneminder
Error: Unable to find a match
I appreciate any help I can get on this issue. I'v been unable to find a fix in forums/wikis/help docs.

These packages are missing from EPEL 8 and prevent zoneminder from being built:
DEBUG util.py:593: No matching package to install: 'perl(Net::SFTP::Foreign)'
DEBUG util.py:593: No matching package to install: 'perl(PHP::Serialization)'
DEBUG util.py:593: No matching package to install: 'perl(Sys::Mmap)'
The process of getting these missing dependencies built and into EPEL 8 will take several weeks.

UPDATE:
This took a coordinated effort with multiple fedora packagers, including myself, to get the entire Zoneminder dependency tree into EPEL8, so that Zoneminder can be built.
Zoneminder will now build on EL8. To do so locally, start with the EL7 source rpm hosted on rpmfusion, then mock build it.
However, the package will not install due to still missing packages. You can following the progress of the missing packages here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1770506
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1770507
If you are felling adventurous, you can build these packages locally, install them, and then your locally built ZoneMinder package will install on your machine.

Patience, grasshopper. This stuff takes time.
Yes, the dependencies are cleared because I was the one who cleared them.
That paved the way for another attempt to build zoneminder for el8 in the rpmfusion build system.... which failed.
The latest problem was with the build system itself. I found a solution then notified the rpmfusion repo admins, who fixed the problem this morning.
Zoneminder finally built successfully:
http://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=13291
The admins usually collect built packages once a week and push them to testing.
When that happens, zoneminder will be mentioned in the weekly RPMFusion Update Report shown here:
https://lists.rpmfusion.org/archives/li ... usion.org/
The package will sit in testing for 1-2 weeks, probably 1. When it reaches stable, it will show up in the next RPMFusion Update Report.

You may need to wait 24 hours for the rpmfusion mirrors to sync.

Hi. I tried to install now but I cannot complete the installation.
Code: Select all
Error:
Problem: package zoneminder-1.32.3-4.el8.x86_64 requires zoneminder-common(x86-64) = 1.32.3-4.el8, but none of the providers can be installed
- package zoneminder-common-1.32.3-4.el8.x86_64 requires libvlc.so.5()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
- package zoneminder-common-1.32.3-4.el8.x86_64 requires vlc-core, but none of the providers can be installed
- conflicting requests
- nothing provides libssh2.so.1()(64bit) needed by vlc-core-1:3.0.9-22.el8.x86_64
It seems libssh2 is
available for CentOS 8.0.1905, but
not for 8.1.1911, so I guess one has to wait and see if it gets added?

Looks like a packaging bug against vlc-core in RPMFusion. Nothing we can do about that here.
The place to get this resolved is RPMFusion bugzilla.
File a ticker here:
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/
Or you can try asking in the RPMFusion devel list:
https://lists.rpmfusion.org/archives/li ... usion.org/

More bad news. Our friends from Redhat appear to have intentionally removed the libssh2 package from RHEL 8.1. This is what is causing vlc to fail to install, which in turn causes ZoneMinder to fail to build or install.
I've created a bug to track this issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1792625
Until this is resolved, your choices are to wait some more or build your own zoneminder package, after manually fetching libssh2.
Best guess, this is going to take at least 2-3 weeks to get libssh2 into EPEL repos, and that assumes the libssh2 package maintainer reacts quickly.

...And just when it seemed all was lost, Nicolas over in RPMFusion pulled libssh2 support from the vlc package. Sweet.
With that change, I was able to successfully build ZoneMinder for el8:
http://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=379786
New vlc and zoneminder packages will be pushed to RPMFusion testing in a day or so, following that, expect another week before they show up in RPMFusion stable.

I realise this thread goes back a bit, but I have just come to install zoneminder on Centos8 and am getting the following ..
Code: Select all
[swilson@harpo ~]$ sudo dnf install zoneminder
[sudo] password for swilson:

- nothing provides perl(DateTime) needed by zoneminder-common-1.34.5-1.el8.x86_64
- nothing provides perl(Data::UUID) needed by zoneminder-common-1.34.5-1.el8.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
[swilson@harpo ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 8.1.1911 (Core)
[swilson@harpo ~]$
I can't find these dependencies in EPEL.
Thanks
