Description of problem: Install of inxi fails due to dependency/version Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf -y install inxi 2. 3. Actual results: Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides perl(JSON::XS) needed by inxi-3.3.27-1.el9.noarch (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) Expected results: working installation Additional info:
The issue is reproducible. The package is in EPEL 9 and has broken dependency, therefore the issue is not in DNF. Changing the component to EPEL package because missing dependency cannot be resolved on our side.
Seems that you need to enable PowerTools repo.
Is problem still actual?
Not for me anymore - about a month later I got it installed.
These days when you install epel-release , it prints a message warning that many EPEL packages require the 'codeready' repo and recommending that you turn it on. I don't think there's anything the inxi package can do about this, so it'd probably be best to close the bug. For the record, inxi is among those many EPEL packages that do need the 'codeready' repo, you should follow the recommendation and run `crb enable` to turn it on in order to be able to install inxi from EPEL.
Sometime after filing this bug it began working (hit or miss) for me. I am grateful for this latest piece of info which sheds some light. In accordance with your suggestion I am closing this bug. Thank you.
