Environment

OES2018SP3

Situation

When installing "git-core" package on a fresh OES2018SP3 server deployed from the oes2018sp3 iso image,  zypper says:
Problem: nothing provides libpcre2-8.so.0()(64bit) needed by git-core-2.26.2-27.43.1.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install git-core-2.26.2-27.43.1.x86_64
Solution 2: break git-core-2.26.2-27.43.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Resolution

Register the new deployed oes2018sp3 server with the customer portal to get the update channels 

Cause

libpcre2-8 is not available on the OES2018SP3 iso image but it is available thru the update channels 

Additional Information

Once server is registered with the customer portal, libpcre2-8 can be installed from the update channels.
