Description Greg Bailey 2024-01-03 15:10:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

mate-applets fails to install on CentOS Stream 9 with EPEL Repository, and gives the following error:

# dnf install mate-applets
Last metadata expiration check: 0:18:46 ago on Wed 03 Jan 2024 07:34:25 AM MST.
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libcpupower.so.0()(64bit) needed by mate-applets-1.26.1-2.el9.x86_64 from epel
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

It appears the kernel-tools-libs RPM provides a newer library:

$ rpm -q --provides kernel-tools-libs
kernel-tools-libs = 5.14.0-402.el9
kernel-tools-libs(x86-64) = 5.14.0-402.el9
libcpupower.so.1()(64bit)

If I rebuild the mate-applets RPM (using "mock --rebuild") then I'm able to install the mate-applets RPM and configure the system monitor.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

1.26.1-2

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable EPEL repository
2. Attempt to install mate-applets RPM
3.

Actual results:

Error message:
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libcpupower.so.0()(64bit) needed by mate-applets-1.26.1-2.el9.x86_64 from epel
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Expected results:

Package installs normally, without dependency errors.

Additional info:

Package requires no other modifications that I'm aware of apart from simply rebuilding it.
Comment 1 Robert Scheck 2024-01-03 18:56:05 UTC 
This issue exists only on CentOS Stream 9, because Red Hat decided to break ABI. On the other hand, EPEL 9 currently targets RHEL 9.3 (and clones), but not CentOS Stream 9. This issue however will apply to RHEL 9.4 (and clones). To solve this issue, EPEL Next branching is required.
