Thank you. So the advice is to ignore the provided rocky9 rpm and use instead the rocky8 rpm even in a Rocky 9 / RHEL 9 system?

The same binaries may not be built and/or installed across different (more recent) versions of operating systems.  It’s not sure why infantfs was not included for rocky9, but for other binaries the 3rd party packages they use are no longer supported (rocky9 uses newer versions of system libraries and/or newer version of the compilers).  It worked for me to install the rocky8 RPM on a rocky9 machine, i.e., I believe binary backwards compatibility allows rocky8 binaries to run on rocky9.  Some of those rocky8 binaries listed might still run on rocky9 if you need them.  You would first need to uninstall the rocky9 rpm.
