The latest version for xpra repo https://xpra.org/dists/CentOS/9/$basearch/ doesn't get installed correctly on AL2. Lots of dependencies fail.

On Al2023 I get the below error while installing from yum

  (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

some of these packages have their al2023 versions available but others do not. Please let me know a suitable timeline of when this will be available.

Just so anyone else who doesn't know what xpra is doesn't have to also Google it:

Persistent remote applications for X11; screen sharing for X11, MacOS and MSWindows.

"Screen for X" was also mentioned.

Note that at this stage AL2023 doesn't provide a desktop environment, and while some of the components are there to satisfy build dependencies, we don't currently provide most of what is needed neither do we provide a VNC server.
