[beeradmoore]

What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2023? Please describe and include package name.
sox

Is this an update to existing package or new package request?
New package request, but also requesting to update it.
Amazon Linux 2 currently has sox v14.4.1, but v14.4.2 was released in 2015.

Is this package available in Amazon Linux 2? If it is available via external sources such as EPEL, please specify.
This package is in Amazon Linux 2

Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc)
Use case is audio manipulation and generating waveforms.

If I copy the rpm from Amazon Linux 2 to AL2023 and try to install it it will say

Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides libpng15.so.15()(64bit) needed by sox-14.4.1-7.amzn2.0.2.x86_64 from @commandline
  - nothing provides libpng15.so.15(PNG15_0)(64bit) needed by sox-14.4.1-7.amzn2.0.2.x86_64 from @commandline
  - nothing provides libwavpack.so.1()(64bit) needed by sox-14.4.1-7.amzn2.0.2.x86_64 from @commandline

Installing libpng from al2023 does not work as there are version differences.

Amazon Linux 2:

• libpng-2:1.5.13-8.amzn2.0.5.x86_64

Amazon Linux 2023

• libpng-2:1.6.37-10.amzn2023.0.6.x86_64

If I install libpng-2:1.5.13-8.amzn2.0.5.x86_64 and wavpack-4.60.1-9.amzn2.0.3.x86_64 (both rpms exported from al2) sox will run.

I believe this introduces incompatabilities if anything else wants libpng 1.6.

Additionally wavpack 4.60.1 was released in 2009. It would also be ideal if it could be updated to 4.80 which is the last version before 5.0 release which I think breaks compatability.
