Problem:

I’m currently following the quick start guide to Foreman on EL9 with Katello.
In the Installing Foreman server packages one of the steps indicates that I should run dnf install foreman-installer

Current outcome:
The installation fails with the following error message:

Error:
 Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - nothing provides /usr/bin/ruby needed by foreman-installer-1:3.12.0-1.el9.noarch from foreman
  - nothing provides ruby(release) needed by foreman-installer-1:3.12.0-1.el9.noarch from foreman

Expected outcome:
The installation of the package should be successful.

Foreman and Proxy versions:
N/A

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
3.12

Distribution and version:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 (Plow)

Uh, Ruby is in the standard RHEL repos. Do you have these (baseos, appstream) disabled for any reason?

Thanks for the very quick reply!
To be honest, I don’t know if / why the repos are disabled. I just “ordered” a VPC through our internal provider.

The list of enabled repos is the following:

# yum repolist all
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity

This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use "rhc" or "subscription-manager" to register.

Yeah, you are definitely missing those RHEL repos.
No idea how the rest of your setup looks like, but you will need those repos to continue.
