As indicated in the comment on the issue, this is related to this issue, this problem is due to the name of the packages required by the WIA, Amazon Linux 2023 has specific packages for these dependencies. For this reason, when the dependency validation is carried out, the WIA looks for the curl package installed, and when it does not find it, it is added to the list of uninstalled WIA dependencies. When the installation is done, it does not fail, because yum detects that there is already a package that satisfies this installation, for this reason, the WIA continues, and once the installation is finished, the WIA is responsible for uninstalling those packages necessary by the WIA but They are not needed for product packages, and when you try to remove curl you can't because it is a package protected by the OS. In Amazon Linux 2023, the curl package is called curl-minimal.

All this will be resolved in the issue above
