Aspera Consol install centos 8.a and alma 8

Not able to install Aspera-console-3.4.2 on centos 8 and Alma Linux 8 with libnsl-2.28


The Aspera Console is not functioning on Redhat, CentOS, and Alma 8. These operating systems come with the latest version of libnsl2 (1.2.0-2.20180605git4a062cf.el8.x86_64), which is incompatible with Aspera Console 3.4.2. The Aspera Console 3.4.2 needs to be tested with Redhat 8.1.



It expected /usr/lib64/libnsl.so.1 to exist and point to libnsl.so.2.0.0 on RHEL 8.1 (and CentOS 8.x) releases. Like it did in previous OS releases. Why did we drop the symlink.

Additional info:

I noticed this problem impacts numerous software packages built to use libnsl.so.1

yum install aspera-console-3.4.2*

Last metadata expiration check: 1:55:06 ago on Wed 05 Jun 2024 09:43:03 AM UTC.

Error:

Problem: conflicting requests

- nothing provides /usr/lib64/libnsl.so.1 needed by aspera-console-3.4.2.183921-0.x86_64

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)



rpm-qa |grep -i libnsl

libnsl2-1.2.0-2.20180605git4a062cf.el8.x86_64

libnsl-2.28-225.el8.x86_64

libnsl2-devel-1.2.0-2.20180605git4a062cf.el8.x86_64
