Unable to install syslog-ng on amazon linux 2-CodePudding

I have started EC2 instance from L=amazon linux 2 AMI.

I am trying to install syslog-ng with yum but I am getting error.

Commands used :

$ sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y
$ sudo yum install syslog-ng

AND

$ sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo=https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/czanik/syslog-ng321/repo/epel-7/czanik-syslog-ng321-epel-7.repo"
$ sudo yum install --enablerepo=epel --assumeyes syslog-ng

But I am getting following error in both the cases:

    Loaded plugins: dkms-build-requires, extras_suggestions, langpacks, priorities, update-motd

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

I wrote these instructions a year ago: https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/installing-syslog-ng-in-amazon-linux-2-including-graviton2

I do not have any AWS accounts right now, but if they do not work, the I'll try to get one...
