Conflict Installing ea-apache24 on AlmaLinux 8 – Version Mismatch with mod_brotli

Hello,

I'm running into a package conflict while updating Apache via EasyApache 4 on a cPanel server with AlmaLinux 8. Here is the error I receive:

Problem: cannot install both ea-apache24-2.4.62-3.7.1.cpanel.x86_64 from EA4-c8 and ea-apache24-2.4.63-1.4.10.cpanel.x86_64 from @System
  - package ea-apache24-mod_brotli-2.4.62-3.7.1.cpanel.x86_64 from EA4-c8 requires ea-apache24 = 2.4.62-3.7.1.cpanel, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install the best candidate for the job
The entire output was logged to: /usr/local/cpanel/logs/packman/errors/2025-05-29_06:45:37-1

It looks like there's a version mismatch between the system-provided ea-apache24 (2.4.63) and the version required by mod_brotli (2.4.62).

What is the recommended way to resolve this? Should I wait for an updated mod_brotli package or is there a way to sync the package versions properly?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

  Hey there!  Can you disable the EA4-c8 repo and try again?  That should let everything install from the default cPanel/OS repositories.

  Details on how to make that change can be found here:

  Thanks for the suggestion!

  I went ahead and disabled the EA4-c8 repository as instructed using:

   

  dnf config-manager --set-disabled EA4-c8
  
  
  dnf clean all
  
  
  dnf makecache
  

  The repo was successfully disabled, and the system now only uses the default cPanel and AlmaLinux repositories. However, when I try to install ea-apache24-mod_brotli, I get:

   

  Error: No matching Packages to list
  

  I also checked via:

   

  dnf info ea-apache24-mod_brotli
  

  And confirmed that the package isn't currently available in the enabled repos.

  So it seems like ea-apache24-mod_brotli for Apache 2.4.63 hasn't been published yet to the default cPanel repositories.

  The package is definitely there.  Can you try this now that you've disabled that other repo?

  yum clean all
  yum makecache
  yum update

  And then see if that works well?
