[SOLVED] Creating APT repo on Centos 8 server

I need a hybrid repository serving both Centos and Debian systems. To my knowledge, this requires installation of dpkg-dev.

As a test, I was successful installing dpkg-dev on Fedora and creating a repo there. The final repo server runs Centos 8, however, and I get this:
Code:# yum install dpkg-dev
...
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides lzma needed by dpkg-dev-1.18.25-12.el8.noarch
...
# yum search lzma

Or is there another way to create a Debian repo?
