It appears the (Linux on Power) RHEL8 ppc64le repo site, https://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/server/POWER/Linux/yum/OSS/RHEL/8/ppc64le/, has been broken since last week, after an update, and the "repomd.xml" file has not been updated, so it is still pointing to the old files. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
