Cluster information:  
Kubernetes version: 1.31.0  
Cloud being used: bare-metal  
Installation method: RPM based repository [pkgs.k8s.io](http://pkgs.k8s.io)  
Host OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 9.4 (Plow)

In a lab environment we wanted to manually test the installation of latest release of kubernetes before pushing it to the automation.  
There seems to be a dependency issue in the [pkgs.k8s.io](http://pkgs.k8s.io) repository for the latest version 1.31.0, nothing provides kubernetes-cni needed by kubelet.  
Please find the screen shot as attachment.  
Please check and fix the issue as soon as possible.

[root@prod-k8s-n1 ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo

Error:  
Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job

- nothing provides kubernetes-cni \>= 1.2.0 needed by kubelet-1.31.0-150500.1.1.x86\_64 from kubernetes  
(try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages or ‘–nobest’ to use not only best candidate packages)  
[root@prod-k8s-n1 ~]#

Thanks & Regards,
