      *Description*
      On AlmaLinux 9.7 using the AppStream `gdal` packages, `gdalinfo --formats` lists only `VRT` and `MEM`. Common drivers such as `GTiff` are missing even though `gdal-libs` is installed. Also, `/usr/lib64/gdalplugins` contains only `drivers.ini`, so plugin drivers are effectively absent. This looks like a packaging/build regression in the AppStream `gdal` 3.10.3 packages for EL9.

      *Steps to reproduce*

      1. Install from AppStream:

         * `dnf install -y gdal gdal-libs`
      2. Run:

         * `gdalinfo --formats`
         * `ls -l /usr/lib64/gdalplugins`

      *Actual result*

      • `gdalinfo --formats` shows only `VRT` and `MEM`
      • `/usr/lib64/gdalplugins` contains only `drivers.ini` (no driver modules)

      *Expected result*

      • Standard drivers such as `GTiff` (and other common formats) should be available out of the box when installing `gdal`/`gdal-libs` from AppStream.

      *Environment*

      • AlmaLinux 9.7
      • `gdal-3.10.3-3.el9`
      • `gdal-libs-3.10.3-3.el9`

      *Workaround (not ideal)*
      Rebuilding an older EL9/EPEL SRPM locally (e.g., `gdal-3.4.3-3.el9.src.rpm`) with mock and installing it restores `GTiff` and many other drivers. This is not a reasonable workaround for typical users.

      *Attachments / output*

      • `rpm -q gdal gdal-libs`
      • `gdalinfo --version`
      • `gdalinfo --formats`
      • `ls -l /usr/lib64/gdalplugins`
