CAUSE: RHEL 8 EPEL 8 is missing gdal35-libs >= 3.5.2

NOTE: RHEL 7 works fine to install Postgis 3.3.2 !!! EPEL 7 has all the packages !!!

NOTE: Issue was logged in RedHat Bugzilla and in Fedora Bodhi

You are trying to install an RPM via PostgreSQL official RPM repository, and for some reason did not enable common repo. This has nothing to do with Fedora, PostGIS or Red Hat.

Regards, Devrim (PostgreSQL RPM packager)

Closing, as this is not related to PostGIS.
