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
Has anyone went through this before?

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