             : network management. The NET-SNMP project includes various SNMP tools:
             : an extensible agent, an SNMP library, tools for requesting or setting

             : You will probably also want to install the net-snmp-utils package,
             : which contains NET-SNMP utilities.

net-snmp is need to enabled Appstream repo. CentOS Linux 8 had reached the End Of Life (EOL) on December 31st, 2021. It means that CentOS 8 will no longer receive development resources from the official CentOS project. After Dec 31st, 2021, if you need to update your CentOS, you need to change the mirrors to vault.centos.org where they will be archived permanently. Alternatively, you may want to upgrade to CentOS Stream. How to fix “Failed to synchronize cache for repo appstream”?

dnf clean all
rm -rf /var/cache/dnf
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
sed -i 's/mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
sed -i 's|#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org|baseurl=http://vault.centos.org|g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
dnf update

That’s it.

Applied this, it now installs net-snmp, but now we get an error lua-devel is not installing ?
