Almalinux 8 is mentioned in the title, and in the name of repositories from the yum install output that you pasted. However, the ControlHub RPMs mentioned in the error messages are those for AlmaLinux 9 rather than AlmaLinux 8 (note the el9 in cactuscore-controlhub-2.8.12-1.el9.x86_64). You also mentioned the following command:

sudo dnf -y install https://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/archive.fedoraproject.org/fedora/linux/releases/34/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/f/fedora-gpg-keys-34-1.noarch.rpm

Which only appears in the RedHat/Alma/Rocky 9 instructions. Did you accidentally run the Alma 9 command from step 2, rather than the Alma 8 command?
