Upgrading OL7 > OL8 Leapp package conflict

User_ZIGWF

Hello all,

I'm attempting to upgrade from OL 7 to 8 using leapp.

I got a few of these "conflicts with the file from package" errors, a few of which (python) I was able to resolve using yum reinstall.

However, these conflicts I cannot see to resolve:

I've attached the error as well, in case its too small in the embedded image.

"STDERR:

Warning: Packages marked by Leapp for install not found in repositories metadata: rpcgen

RPM: warning: Generating 6 missing index(es), please wait...

Error: Transaction test error:

I've tried yum reinstalling the sysvinit-tools package as well, and it reinstalls, but doesnt resolve this issue.

My preupgrade leapp check was green prior to attempting the actual upgrade.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What else is installed on this Oracle Linux 7 instance (application, database, etc)? Is this running on-premises (bare metal or a VM) OR is this running in OCI?

I'm having exactly the same thing:

I'm following this path: CentOS 7.9 - OracleLinux 7.9 -- this was successful. Then, after a reboot i tried going from OracleLinux 7.9 to Oracle Linux 8.x using the leapp tool. Besides the usual PermitRootLogin and pkcs answer, the preupgrade check did not indicate anything out of the ordinary.

In my case, this is pretty much a vanilla system - the application has been completely removed and does not touch util-linux at all

In my case, this is a virtual machine running on-prem

sysvinit-tools-2.88

appears to be part of the CentOS install (@anaconda repo - which is the CentOS installer)

I removed the old packages

yum remove sysvinit-tools uname26 -y

and removed the CentOS repo files

rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS*
yum clean all

That seemed to have fixed it for me.
