I am experiencing a similar issue to [this thread of the same name](https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/libraw-related-update-failure-of-imagemagick/11706/1) however I do _not_ have `epel-next` installed or enabled:

```bash
[root@sfimg1 ~]# dnf repolist
repo id repo name
appstream Rocky Linux 9 - AppStream
baseos Rocky Linux 9 - BaseOS
epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 9 - x86_64

```

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

```bash
[root@sfimg1 ~]# dnf whatprovides "*/libraw_r.so.2*"
Last metadata expiration check: 0:02:01 ago on Thu May 9 09:29:21 2024.

Repo : appstream
Matched from:

LibRaw-0.20.2-6.el9.x86_64 : Library for reading RAW files obtained from digital photo cameras

```

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:

```bash
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.
