Appstream Libraw too old for EPEL ImageMagick

[stuts]

I am experiencing a similar issue to this thread of the same name however I do not have epel-next installed or enabled:

[root@sfimg1 ~]# dnf repolist

The version of LibRaw in the Rocky appstream repository is a few minor versions behind that which ImageMagick requires:

[root@sfimg1 ~]# dnf whatprovides "*/libraw_r.so.2*"

I was wondering if I’d just been running my builds at the wrong time (wouldn’t be the first time I’ve tried to spin a build while upstream repos are changing!) but I’ve tried on-and-off for the last 48 hours and haven’t had any success.

This can be worked around by installing LibRaw from the CentOS 9 Stream repositories, e.g:

dnf install ImageMagick https://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/LibRaw-0.21.1-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

Steps to reproduce:

• Launch Rocky Linux 9.3 image
• Ensure up to date (dnf update)
• Reboot
• Install epel-release (dnf install epel-release)
• Install ImageMagick (dnf install ImageMagick)
• Have also tried with crb repo enabled (and cache cleaned & recreated in dnf) which makes no difference

Most likely because RHEL already released 9.4 and EPEL is slightly ahead right now as built against that. Rocky 9.4 will be released soon which will resolve the problem. Until then wait until Rocky 9.4 is released, and then update/install the appropriate packages.
