Hi, Here’s what I get when I try to update a box running Rocky Linux 9 with KDE from EPEL: # dnf update Error: Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for package kf5-libkdcraw-23.04.3-2.el9.x86_64 - nothing provides libraw.so.23()(64bit) needed by kf5-libkdcraw-23.08.5-1.el9.x86_64 …

Testing is in progress, of ISO’s, etc, so I expect days max.

you can peek on the stg repo it has the pre release https://download.rockylinux.org/stg/rocky/ they just released the rc1 of 9.4 and have a nice day everyone :slight_smile:

Looks like the new LibRaw requires rebuilding some epel packages for 9.4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__all__&content=libraw&no_redirect=1&order=Importance&query_format=specific

out of curiosity, how does the REHL update cause epel to start refusing to provide packages even though epel itself hasn’t updated? Just trying to workout if there’s something we can do in our build pipeline to avoid this sort of issue in the future as it is currently blocking us from building dock…

[image] phyzical: out of curiosity, how does the REHL update cause epel to start refusing to provide packages even though epel itself hasn’t updated? EPEL packages certain software and libraries that hook into dependencies that are in EL. These dependencies may have a specific ABI. Once that …

I’d add to that that EPEL is not “one”, unlike RHEL and Rocky. There was a moment, when all packages of RHEL 9.4 became available. There will be a moment, when all packages of Rocky 9.4 become available. EPEL is not “all at once”, but a community of maintainers. All (new) packages are not releas…

[image] jlehtone: EPEL is not “all at once”, but a community of maintainers. All (new) packages are not released simultaneously. They come when/if they get (re)built (and tested). You seem to be focusing on the present and not the historical context because that is not how it was historicall…

The present affects today, doesn’t it? [image] label: Note that 10 will be much cleaner/easier in this regard as they will maintain 10.X directories, with 10.X+1 in development and made “stable” once a minor release is available. Awesome.

The full discussion for the EPEL 10 proposal is listed here. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/epel-10-proposal/44304

I submitted a bug to the Red Hat/Fedora Bugzilla, and they told me that it’s because Rocky tracks RHEL 9.3 at the moment… so being an adventurous systems engineer, I went and found the Alma 9.4 srpm, downloaded it, built it, and installed it. No complaints along the way when I did.

EPEL broken... now what?
