How to upgrade to php 8.1 on RHEL 8.7?

Question

How to upgrade to php8.1 in RHEL 8.7, I went through various guides and ended up installing php:remi-8.1 which is desirable however, php-gd is not willing to be installed cause of missing libraries.

Problem: package php-gd-7.2.24-1.module+el8.2.0+4601+7c76a223.x86_64 requires php-common(x86-64) = 7.2.24-1.module+el8.2.0+4601+7c76a223, but none of the providers can be installed
  - problem with installed package php-gd-7.2.24-1.module+el8.2.0+4601+7c76a223.x86_64
  - cannot install both php-common-8.1.16-1.el8.remi.x86_64 and php-common-7.2.24-1.module+el8.2.0+4601+7c76a223.x86_64
  - package php-gd-8.1.15-1.el8.remi.x86_64 requires libgd.so.103()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - package php-gd-8.1.16-1.el8.remi.x86_64 requires libgd.so.103()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - package php-common-7.2.24-1.module+el8.2.0+4601+7c76a223.x86_64 is filtered out by modular filtering
  - nothing provides libraqm.so.0()(64bit) needed by gd3php-2.3.3-4.el8.remi.x86_64
  - nothing provides libimagequant.so.0()(64bit) needed by gd3php-2.3.3-4.el8.remi.x86_64
  - nothing provides libraqm.so.0()(64bit) needed by gd3php-2.3.3-8.el8.remi.x86_64
  - nothing provides libimagequant.so.0()(64bit) needed by gd3php-2.3.3-8.el8.remi.x86_64
  - nothing provides libavif.so.14()(64bit) needed by gd3php-2.3.3-8.el8.remi.x86_64

However, now I run into a different issue. Even after running

sudo dnf clean all && sudo rm -r /var/cache/dnf  && sudo dnf upgrade -y && sudo dnf update -y

I still get the following.

Seems like you missed to enable the EPEL repos on your system. The wizard does remind you of that. Check that EPEL and the CodeReady Repos are both enabled.

I followed all the commands on the wizard. I can give it another try. – Alimba Mar 14 '23 at 11:18
I updated my answer with the re-installation of the required repositories. – Alimba Mar 14 '23 at 11:24
libraqm.so.0()(64bit) is provided by libraqm-0.7.0-4.el8.x86_64 (from EPEL) libimagequant.so.0()(64bit) is provided by libimagequant-2.12.5-1.el8.x86_64 (from EPEL) – Remi Collet Mar 14 '23 at 12:48
libavif.so.14()(64bit) is provided from libavif-0.10.1-3.el8.x86_64, also from EPEL – Remi Collet Mar 14 '23 at 13:33
@RemiCollet Shouldn't be able to resolve it's dependencies since the EPEL repos are enabled? Am I missing something? – Alimba Mar 14 '23 at 14:00
Need the full command output – Remi Collet Mar 14 '23 at 15:38
@RemiCollet I updated my ticket with more info regarding this issue. You were right about the missing packages, there were part of EPEL, but I installed EPEL but not enabled it. Once I did enabled it, I could look for those int the repo, however now I can't update anything. – Alimba Mar 14 '23 at 16:18
