Description Juan 2025-12-05 10:13:35 UTC 
Description of problem:

When trying to install package gcc-gnat from EPEL9 this cannot be completed as the latest gcc package obsoletes it.

It seems this is a recurring issue that needs to be patched manually (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2346251)


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

gcc-gnat-11.5.0-6.el9.x86_64


How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
Example using Rocky9 (podman run -it --rm podman run -it --rm docker.io/rockylinux/rockylinux:9)

1. dnf install epel-release
2. crb enable
3. dnf install gcc-gnat-11.5.0-6.el9.x86_64

Actual results:

Error:
 Problem: package gcc-gnat-11.5.0-6.el9.x86_64 from epel requires gcc(major) = 11, but none of the providers can be installed
  - package gcc-11.5.0-11.el9.x86_64 from appstream obsoletes gcc-gnat < 11.5.0-11.el9 provided by gcc-gnat-11.5.0-6.el9.x86_64 from epel
  - conflicting requests

Expected results:

gcc-gnat package can be installed
