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
- Install RHEL 9.x
- Enable EPEL repo
- 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)
