Is this ok [y/N]:

It has issue with sogo, clicked Y and removed it.

We planned to use iredmail as production server after some trial testing. Can you take a look at the sogo issue ?
With Regards,
Andrei.

Re: dnf error on a fresh system after installing iredmail

It looks like you have issues with the repository that you are using, have you tried 'dnf clean all' allready?

Re: dnf error on a fresh system after installing iredmail

Not sure if you ever resolved this OP, but this happened the other day on my CentOS 8 Stream install as well. The problem arose because the epel.repo file located in /etc/yum.repos.d/ changed at some point during an update.

Add this line under the [epel] repo directive:

exclude=gnustep*

SOGo requires specific versions of gnustep to work. EPEL will serve you a newer version unless you tell it not to.
