Nvidia metadata error

One of our users was experiencing this problem when trying to install NVIDIA packages:

Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:53 ago on Thu May 28 20:31:12 2026.

Error:

Problem: package nvidia-driver-3:610.43.02-1.el9.x86_64 from almalinux-nvidia requires libnvidia-gpucomp.so.610.43.02() (64bit

none of the providers can be installed

cannot install the best candidate for the job

package nvidia-driver-common-3:610.43.02-1.el9.x86 64 from almalinux-nvidia is filtered out by modular filtering (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

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

[exit code: 1]

Our investigation made it clear this is a bug in the NVIDIA repository metadata. We’ve reported it upstream, and have fixed it in our repos. If you’re using the AlmaLinux NVIDIA repository, you can now install NVIDIA packages without error.

Hi, I am having the same issue here;

dnf install nvidia-open-kmod nvidia-driver

Should it have been fixed, or is there another issue?

it’s fixed if you’re using the AlmaLinux driver. If you’re still seeing this problem, try clearing your yum cache. If it persists, join chat.almalinux.org and you’ll be able to get some good help there.

Hi, thanks for getting back. clearing the cache did not solve the problem, I got this issue:

For me, there is a version issue for libnvidia-gpucomp. Will go to chat in parallel.

Actually, this got fixed with:
dnf module reset nvidia-driver
