I am on CentOS8. I am facing similar situation as in this question, tried everything suggest in answers but could not solve.

Why I can't install ffmpeg on CentOS 7

I am trying to install ffmpeg-devel which needs ffmpeg-libs and which needs libgcrypt. Libgcrypt is required by systemd which is protected package and could not uninstalled. Libgcrypt-1.8.5-4.el8 is newer version than libgcrypt-1.5.3-14.el7.

How to go about ffmpeg-devel? It has been going on for 3 days.

Anything I have missed to inform you please suggest. I am really stuck with this. Is there any workaround or alternative to ffmpeg.

thanks in advance

You are trying to install a package for CentOS 7, on CentOS 8. This cannot work. You must install the corresponding package built for CentOS 8.

It also appears that you have added a yum repository for CentOS 7 on this system. This also will not work as none of its packages can be installed. Replace it with the corresponding yum repository for CentOS 8.
