Can't install gcc-toolset-12-gcc-gfortran on ppc64le

Support

Starting a few days ago, gcc-toolset-12-gcc-gfortran can’t be installed anymore on ppc64le

#12 25.11 Error: 
901#12 25.11  Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job
902#12 25.11   - nothing provides gcc-toolset-12-libquadmath-devel = 12.1.1-3.4.el8_7 needed by gcc-toolset-12-gcc-gfortran-12.1.1-3.4.el8_7.ppc64le
903#12 25.11 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

It seems to be related to an update that appeared in the mirrors on Jan 13th.
Indeed, the updated package is not present in the ppc64le mirror (Index of /almalinux/8/AppStream/ppc64le/os/Packages/) while it seems to be available for x86_64 (Index of /almalinux/8/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/).

I thought I’d report this here before opening a bug in case I missed something.

See 8.7 upgrade problem, it may be the same issue.

Thanks for the suggestion but it does not appear to be the same:

The package appears to have been built looking at AlmaLinux Build System but is not available in the repo.
