A company has an internal mirror of the EPEL repository for RHEL 9. The mirror is accessible at http://mirror.internal.example.com/epel/9/. The administrator has created a .repo file for this mirror. However, when running 'dnf install epel-release', the system tries to access the public EPEL repository instead of the internal mirror. What is the most likely cause?

The custom .repo file is not named correctly

The epel-release package installs its own repository configuration that overrides the custom .repo file

The internal mirror is not accessible from the server

The custom .repo file has the wrong baseurl

An organization uses a private mirror of the official CentOS Stream 9 repositories to speed up package installations and ensure availability. The mirror is accessible at http://mirror.internal.example.com/centos-stream/9/. The administrator needs to configure the system to use this mirror. Which file should be modified?

Run 'zypper addrepo http://mirror.internal.example.com/centos-stream/9/'

Create /etc/yum.repos.d/internal.repo with baseurl=http://mirror.internal.example.com/centos-stream/9/

Edit /etc/dnf/dnf.conf to add the mirror URL

Modify /etc/apt/sources.list to point to the mirror URL

A company has a mix of Ubuntu 22.04 and RHEL 9 servers. A new internal application requires the 'libapp' package, which is available in the default repositories for both distributions. However, the RHEL 9 repository has version 1.0, while the Ubuntu repository has version 2.0. The application requires version 2.0. What should the administrator do to install the correct version on the RHEL 9 server?

Add a third-party repository that provides libapp 2.0 for RHEL 9 and install from it

Use 'dnf update libapp' to get the latest version

Force the installation of libapp 1.0 and hope the application works

Download the Ubuntu .deb package and install it with dpkg
