Description of problem: An EPEL9 version of xscreensaver was recently released, but it does not install properly due to missing dependencies. Specifically, the package manager complains that "nothing provides appres needed by xscreensaver-base-1:6.05-3.el9.x86_64." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xscreensaver-1:6.05-3.el9.x86_64 How reproducible: every time the user attempts to install xscreensaver or its components. Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install xscreensaver-base.x86_64 xscreensaver.x86_64 Actual results: Error: Problem 1: conflicting requests - nothing provides appres needed by xscreensaver-base-1:6.05-3.el9.x86_64 Problem 2: package xscreensaver-1:6.05-3.el9.x86_64 requires xscreensaver-base = 1:6.05-3.el9, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides appres needed by xscreensaver-base-1:6.05-3.el9.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) Expected results: Successful installation of xscreensaver packages. Additional info: The EPEL9 xscreensaver package was recently branched and built as part of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2120163. It appears that the x-screensaver-base package requires a package called "appres" which is not currently available in EPEL9. I also happened to note the following in the changelog for the version of xscreensaver-base that is available in EPEL8 (see https://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/epel/8/x86_64/Packages/x/xscreensaver-base-5.45-5.el8.x86_64.html for reference): * Tue Mar 02 2021 Ding-Yi Chen <dchen> - 1:5.45-5 - Fix EPEL 8 & EPEL 7 build - Remove appres from EL8 and EL7, because they don't have it. So perhaps this dependency simply needs to be removed from the EPEL9 build as well?
