Dear All
I' am a sysadmin with around 10 computers working with Almalinux 8 and
10 (I am in a small biology research institution)
Several of them have cuda installed.
We are Amber25 / pmemd24 heavy users so we need cuda-toolkit-12-8 which
is the only one compatible.
I try to keep my systems updated. I keep updating cuda every time a new
one comes around.
Recently I found that if I have cuda-toolkit-12-? I cannot install
cuda-toolkit-13-3 or what is the same, I cannot update cuda-toolkit.
If I have cuda-toolkit-13-3 installed I cannot install cuda-toolkit-12-?.
I had no similar problems up until now. cuda-toolkit has been updated
without a problem up until 13-2 and all previous 13 versions where
coexisting with all 12.
Here Is the error:
# dnf -y --disablerepo=oneAPI update --exclude=kernel-ml*
No repository match: oneAPI

By any chance anybody here knows if this is an unintended behavior or
something planned?
Do you believe that we could expect a different behavior in 13-4?
Any suggestions to bypass this problem?
thank you very much
