How to install package that has been removed from Amazon Linux 2023?
I have a customer whose application requires apache-commons-deamon package, which was part of the default repo for AL2, but this package is listed as removed for AL2023.
What's the best way to get those missing packages when on AL 2023?

You could try downloading from The Apache Commons Daemon homepage https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/
Its Github site is at https://github.com/apache/commons-daemon
As far as finding another repo that carries it, it doesn't appear on to be on EPEL. You have to google around and see what you can find.
Hello,
I recommend using the Amazon Linux 2 repository to download the required file. It's an easy process. Alternatively, you can copy the required RPM files from Amazon Linux 2 to Amazon Linux 2023.
You can tell yum which repositories he can use:
yum --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="<desired-repo-id>" install apache-commons-deamon package

Hi, getting and building the package from its origin Apache site is probably the way to go!
