That’s not right. Those instructions are to install foreman, not katello. However, you have the katello repository, thus you must have followed some other instructions as well.

And why is your foreman-plugins repository not available?

The docs in “1.2 CentOS 8” say to install the foreman-release.rpm

dnf localinstall https://yum.theforeman.org/releases/2.4/el8/x86_64/foreman-release.rpm

After I install that I get three new files:

/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-foreman
/etc/yum.repos.d/foreman-plugins.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/foreman.repo

Two repositories are enabled: foreman and foreman-plugins. foreman-plugins contain all those missing dependencies. As the file in the foreman-release has foreman-plugins enabled you must have either disabled the repository or removed the file.

Check with

# rpm -Vv foreman-release
.........    /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-foreman
.........  c /etc/yum.repos.d/foreman-plugins.repo
.........  c /etc/yum.repos.d/foreman.repo

If those files are still intact and unmodified.

To install foreman with katello, follow the katello instructions

That was it, thank you. my foreman-plugins repo was disabled and I did not realize it.
