                        Current alpha branch breaks prereqs.sh for Enterprise Linux 9
Describe the bug
Enterprise Linux 9 packaging does not match the Enterprise Linux 8. The current master branch would bypass the issue when trying to install ncurses-compat-libs, as it does not exist in el9 distros. However the alpha branch added a link between 8 and 9.
elif [[ "${VERSION_ID}" =~ "8" ]] || [[ "${VERSION_ID}" =~ "9" ]]; then
  #RHEL/CentOS/RockyLinux8
  pkg_opts="${pkg_opts} --allowerasing"
  pkg_list="${pkg_list} libusbx ncurses-compat-libs pkgconf-pkg-config"
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Clone guild-operators repository alpha branch onto a RHEL9
- Enable the RHEL Code Ready Builder repository
- Install EPEL for EL9
- Execute `prereqs.sh
- See error
Expected behavior Success to install packages and compile

It would be best if you could submit an issue at https://github.com/cardano-community/guild-operators with the details to tackle in future, as some errors may be due to external/already present dependencies

Additional context
- pkgconfand- pkgconf-pkg-configmay be installed by default. I'll need to rebuild an el9 minimal to confirm the true minimal install, as the system I was using was for ubi9 and I had selected some additional package groups during the installation to support it, which may have added the dependencies for- pkgconf\*.
- libusbxis not installed in el9, but exists and installs when- ncurses-compat-libsis not part of the list (although is skipped in master since 9 wasn't an "or" or "elif" in prereqs.
I'll spend some time this weekend investigating the base RHEL 9 (vs. the Universal Base Image 9 I was working on today) and create a branch to handle the differences between el8 and el9 packaging.
Might need a temporary diversion on master instead of being able to copy as-is, as alpha is on node-1.35 now, while mainnet upgrade is not yet mandatory
