Rocky Linux 9.2 is rocky


Although Rocky Linux 9.2 emerged on Tuesday, one of the architectures wasn't ppc64le - the release was held back. This seems to be due to a Power-specific bug in the provided build of Python 3.9, and also affects RHEL 9.2 (but not, near as I can tell, Fedora 38, which ships with Python 3.11 and runs fine on my systems). There are also no build artifacts available and there is currently no ETA for repair. Because Rocky Linux's mirrorlist can't hold back just one architecture, you'll need to add --releasever 9.1 (or change /etc/dnf/vars/releasever) to ensure dnf update doesn't get polluted with later metadata until the revised architecture spin is available.
