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
perl-JSON-XS is in the CRB repository, which is required to satisfy dependencies of EPEL packages. See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/getting-started/#_el9
