Upon attempting to update an pre-10.8.5 Alma9 release via the CLI, you receive the following error:
AlmaLinux 9 - BaseOS
Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:02 ago on Wed 19 Feb 2025 04:08:25 PM EST.
Error:
Problem: package ImageMagick-libs-6.9.12.82-1.el9.x86_64 requires libraw_r.so.20()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
- cannot install both LibRaw-0.21.1-1.el9.x86_64 and LibRaw-0.20.2-5.el9.x86_64
- cannot install both LibRaw-0.20.2-5.el9.x86_64 and LibRaw-0.21.1-1.el9.x86_64
- cannot install the best update candidate for package LibRaw-0.20.2-5.el9.x86_64
- cannot install the best update candidate for package ImageMagick-libs-6.9.12.82-1.el9.x86_64
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
CAUSE
The update repository information information references the improper location for package updates.
WORKAROUND
1. Uncomment the mirrorlist line and comment out the baseurl line in both the appstream and baseos repo files using the following command:
sed -i -e 's/^baseurl/#baseurl/' -e 's/^#mirrorlist/mirrorlist/' /etc/yum.repos.d/unitrends-almalinux
2. Then clean out the update cache by running the following:
yum clean all
