WHM / CPANEL and ImageMagick-devel 6 conflict with ImageMagick 7 – CentOS

I installed ImageMagick 7

I have CentOS 8 with latest WHM

but when I do yum install ImageMagick => it wants to install 6.9, but 7 is already installed.

** QUESTION 1 :** is it possible to force WHM not to want to install ImageMagick-devel ???

** QUESTION 2 :** is 1 is not possible => then can I force (other way than yum.conf) to make dnf or yum to never see any ImageMagick 6.9 ????

When I create a support ticket, they seems only refers to yum.conf everytime. but that doesn’t address the issue.

I even went and tried to "ln -s" any ImageMagick7 to ImageMagick6 in /usr/include/ and other places that the ImageMagick Libs is installed, but that didn’t do anything.

because I tried editing yum.conf and added exclude=Image-Magick-devel but that is still the error of not being able to install required packages……

when the update script runs this /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/sysup

I get those errors

info [sysup] ea4: repo already installed
checkyum version 22.3  (excludes: bind-chroot kernel ruby)
checkyum version 22.3  (excludes: bind-chroot kernel)

    A Cpanel level III was able to pinpoint the issue, fix it and PLUS : do a post explaining everything ;)

    https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/4403997242775-CentOS-8-Sysup-failure-if-ImageMagick7-installed-from-the-REMI-repository?source=search&auth_token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJhY2NvdW50X2lkIjo5Mjc3OTc5LCJ1c2VyX2lkIjozODkxMzkxNTk2NTQsInRpY2tldF9pZCI6OTQzNDI2OTksImNoYW5uZWxfaWQiOjYzLCJ0eXBlIjoiU0VBUkNIIiwiZXhwIjoxNjI4NDc4MTc0fQ.iAVLyknZaWernw8T1op8D7pxOLSFrz6WcuPBeYy0qh0

    Workaround

    Ignore the errors or Modify the cPanel update requirement manually to suppress the errors.

sed -i.bak '/ImageMagick-devel/d' /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Sysup.pm
echo /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Sysup.pm >> /etc/cpanelsync.exclude
/scripts/upcp

    To return the cPanel update system to normal functionality, remove the updates exclude file.

    /bin/rm /etc/cpanelsync.exclude

    I don’t really understand what is your real goal

    Packages in my repository are designed to allow parallel installation of various library versions

    • ImageMagick-libs, from EPEL, old version 6.9.10 (used by some app from EPEL)
    • ImageMagick6-libs for latest version 6.9.12 (used by php-pecl-imagick-im6 or vips-magick-im6)
    • ImageMagick6-libs for latest version 7.1.0 (used by php-pecl-imagick-im6 or vips-magick-im7)

    But you can only install 1 version of the commands (ImageMagick) and of the development headers (ImageMagick-devel)

    So looks like cpanel is not able to manage such configuration.
