Description

The rudder package command has a dependency to the "gpgv" binary.
On Amazon Linux, the command is provided in the "gnupg2" package, which is a dependency for the "rudder-server" package.

The issue is that Amazon Linux 2023 comes with "gnupg2-minimal" which provides a dangling symlink on "gnupg2", which means that the packages fulfill the "gnupg2" dependency without providing the expected command.
For more detail see the open issue https://github.com/amazonlinux/amazon-linux-2023/issues/414

To be able to install rudder plugins using the "rudder package" on Amazon Linux 2023, run the following command before running any "rudder package install" command:
sudo dnf swap gnupg2-minimal gnupg2
