Installation - exa package not available on Alma 9.5

[mkrsfcmp]

Trying to install on a freshly installed Alma 9.5 server (actually the server was installed using 9.4 image and then immediately dnf-ugpraded but it shouldn't matter.

When I run the installer it runs OK up until the "Install recommended packages (AlmaLinux,Rocky)" step when it fails.

### Something went wrong with the Playbook, please review the output and / or install_tpot.log for clues.
### Aborting.

There seem to be no available exa package for Alma (no eza neither).

It seems Alma and Rocky have removed eza from its repositories. If not reinstated by the end of the weekend we will be adjusting the installer by removing exa / eza support for all supported distributions.

@mkrsfcmp Thanks for reporting!

commenting out the lines related to exa / eza in the. yml located at /home/user/tpotce/installer/install/tpot.yml worked for me. It installed fully and ran fine. Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
