This is a result of #3292380: Remove the "replace" section from core/composer.json + composer facade changes. Allowing the module to be installed on Drupal 9.4 is probably the easiest way to resolve it.

jaydarnellThis is super frustrating. I'm trying to use this awesome module for a new personal project but can't figure out the workaround to get it working in Drupal 9.4.5. I don't understand why the minimum requirement is Drupal 9.5 which won't be out for a few months yet.

wim leers@JayDarnell This is a Drupal.org infrastructure problem. This is being worked on.

catch@JayDarnell, you should just be able to use the core ckeditor module in 9.4, the contrib module doesn't have anything the core module doesn't.
But also if you're starting a new project, you should consider starting directly with CKEditor5 so you don't need to migrate within a year.

wim leersAfter lengthy discussion with a lot of people (crediting them here!), going to allow to install this module on
^9.4instead of^9.5.Comment #12
jaydarnellThank you so much Wim. I mostly need this module as a dependency for codesnippet so making this work with 9.4 is a huge help for me. Thanks again!

I just tried to do this but, at this time, the UI for the styles dropdown doesn't exist in 9.4. which makes ckeditor nearly impossible to fully setup on D9.4. I know this isn't the place for that issue, but thought I would respond to the comment here.

wim leersThat's indeed most unfortunate, because it landed almost two months ago, on August 5, in #3222797: Upgrade path from CKEditor 4's StylesCombo to CKEditor 5's Style. There just has not been a 9.4 release since August 3 (https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/releases/9.4.5).
I think it'd be really valuable if a
9.4.6release was tagged with all bugfixes that landed until now, and where CKEditor 5 is in a more complete state.Comment #15

frobThank you! We are looking at it today.

wim leersHurray! 😄
Comment #18
frobI wanted to make sure I looped back around and let everyone know that it worked and we are now using CKEditor5 on our new project.

safetypinIn case anyone isn't updated to CKEditor 5 yet, and is encountering an unexpected failure to update to Drupal 9.4.6, I found executing the command:
composer require drupal/core-recommended:^9.4.6revealed which module was causing the conflict. Then I included that module in the update command, and it worked. In my case it was:composer up drupal/core-recommended drupal/ckeditor_liststyle -W
