• David,
  When I run the command with –allowerasing the following packages where removed due to unavailable dependencies:

  annobin-8.64-1.el8.x86_64

  systemtap-devel-4.0-7.el8.x86_64

  I think I will downsgrade some of the needed dependencies to be able to reinstall the critical one g++, and the openmpi ones.

  All the best, — Philippe.

• I think your system is getting mixed mirrors or something. Some of the packages you are looking for are from CentOS-8.0.1905 and some seem to be CentOS-8.1.1911. I am not sure what is causing that at the moment, but I put a list of the versions I found in the mirror which should be available.

  Since boost is not showing up I am guessing Powertools got turned off.

• Also just to be more specific I am running CentOS 8.1. So the issue I
  encounter were after upgrading to 8.1. Thank you! — Philippe.

• OK I see the problem.. arch difficulties entered in sometime. You have some .i686 packages installed which got filtered into the compose at some point when they shouldn’t have been.

  Please try adding –nobest –allowerasing to the install and see if it gets past this.

• OK let us see if we can see what is on the system which is causing the problem. It is either going to be an existing gcc-XXX which needs to be removed or it is some other i686 item. rpm -qa | egrep ‘glibc|gcc’

  rpm -qa | grep i686 # probably a big file so probably put it in a paste/gist somewhere would be better

  I just tested on an 8.0 box and was able to install gcc-c++ from 8.1
