Description Steven Jubb 2024-11-22 12:53:06 UTC 
This component is a dependency of the i3 window manager (i3) which is in the epel repo. i3 fails to install though due to a dependency on the perl-JSON-XS package missing from the epel9 repo.

[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)

https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-67881

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 9.x
2. Enable EPEL repo
3. Attempt to install i3 with dnf (sudo dnf install i3)

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)



Expected Results:  
i3 window manager would install
Comment 1 Paul Howarth 2024-11-22 16:02:49 UTC 
perl-JSON-XS is in the CRB repository, which is required to satisfy dependencies of EPEL packages.
