It’s a bit convoluted because no package is actually named ldiskfsprogs. Instead, the e2fsprogs packages available from https://downloads.hpdd.intel.com/public/e2fsprogs/latest/el7/RPMS/x86_64/ have a „Provides“ entry for ldiskfsprogs. Installing them should resolve the dependency problem.

Kind regards,

Daniel
