However, I face issues where in the build process I see missing packages for UBI8. Then, my manager advised me to look at this Dockerfile.rhel8 <https://github.com/sclorg/s2i-python-container/blob/master/3.6/Dockerfile.rhel8> to understand how you guys do it. Could you please assist me why when I try to build that dockerfile I get error message (attached the screenshot).

I took a closer look, and it appears that some of the packages aren't available.

micropipenv, jwhois, and flatpak-spawn are available neither in RHEL nor in EPEL.

fpaste is available only in EPEL.


words, vte-profile, tree, traceroute, tcpdump, mtr, mlocate, man-pages, keyutils, and bash-completion are available only in RHEL and not in UBI.  For these, you could open a request to have them added to UBI, but generally they want very good justification before adding any package to UBI.
