Hi,

The breakage you see is not directly within CentOS 7 and CR. The problem
is that your SCLO package sclo-php72-php-pecl-imagick-3.4.4-1.el7.x86_64
is for 7.7.1908 and needs to be updated for CentOS 7.8.

All the same you'll not be able to update to CentOS 7.8 until a fixed
sclo-php72-php-pecl-imagick package is available.

Applying CR updates to clean installations of a basic CentOS system
usually works very fine.

Regards,
Simon
