Hi, I'm trying to install KDE from EPEL on AlmaLinux 9.3, but got several errors. I have enable crb repo and EPEL repo.
Running dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces" I get:
Error: Problem 1: package kdegraphics-thumbnailers-23.08.5-1.el9.x86_64 from epel requires libKF5KDcraw.so.5()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides libraw.so.23()(64bit) needed by kf5-libkdcraw-23.08.5-1.el9.x86_64 from epel Problem 2: package gwenview-1:23.08.5-2.el9.x86_64 from epel requires libgwenviewlib.so.5()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed - package gwenview-1:23.08.5-2.el9.x86_64 from epel requires gwenview-libs(x86-64) = 1:23.08.5-2.el9, but none of the providers can be installed - package gwenview-libs-1:23.08.5-2.el9.x86_64 from epel requires libKF5KDcraw.so.5()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides libraw.so.23()(64bit) needed by kf5-libkdcraw-23.08.5-1.el9.x86_64 from epel (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate package
There is something bad with EPEL Repository?
Thank you in advance.
Caro Alessandro,
Indeed, you encountered one of those moments when EPEL is broken. A couple of days ago there was an upgrade from KDE 5.27.6 to 5.27.11, and kf5-libkdcraw-23.08.5 is not installable. As I already had KDE on my machines, the upgrade worked in my case, as I had kf5-libkdcraw-23.04.3 on the machine. In your case, `--nobest --skip-broken` cannot help, as kf5-libkdcraw-23.04.3 is not in EPEL's mirrors anymore, and the only version that exists is not installable.
I have filed a bug report here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2279322
Meanwhile, you could temporarily enable epel-testing, then install KDE using `sudo dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces" --nobest --skip-broken`, as there is a non-installable ImageMagick in epel-testing that should be skipped. You should then disable epel-testing.

Hi Radu, thank you for your answer and suggestions.
I will try in the next days.
Best regards.
Alessandro.
I closed myself the bug that I reported. NOTABUG.
“KDE Plasma Workspaces” installs just fine on 9.4 (tested on AlmaLinux 9.4 Minimal Install). It only fails to install on 9.3.
The situation is likely due to the fact that there is a unique EPEL9, not EPEL9.3 and EPEL9.4, and the KDE upgrade released after the release of EL9.4 wasn’t supposed to work with EL9.3.
I suppose we tend to forget that we should upgrade to the next point release ASAP.
