      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Install i3 Window Manager using 

      sudo dnf install i3

       

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      I am unable to install and use the i3 wm.

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      i3-4.20.1-3.el9.x86_64

      How reproducible is this bug?:

      Easily reproducible in homelab and in major enterprise with private satellite and nexus repo mirrors.

       

      This bug occurs both in a closed, secured enterprise environment, as well as a wide-open homelab.

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Install RHEL 9.x
      2. Enable EPEL repo
      3. attempt to install i3 with dnf

      Expected results

      i3 window manager would install

      Actual results

      i3 window manager is missing dependency perl(JSON::XS) and is unable to install.

      [user@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf install i3
      Error:
        Problem: conflicting requests
         - nothing provides perl(JSON::XS) needed by i3-4.20.1-3.el9.x86_64 from epel (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
