Having trouble using leapp to upgrade from Rocky8 to Rocky9

[drescherjm]

At work I have 2 servers that I have tested with the same problem. I am using a kernel from elrepo-kernel and that seems to create the conflict.

[root@fs2 leapp]# leapp preupgrade --no-rhsm --enablerepo elrepo-kernel --enablerepo elrepo
==> Processing phase `configuration_phase`
====> * ipu_workflow_config
        IPU workflow config actor
==> Processing phase `FactsCollection`
====> * scanblacklistca

@drescherjm, your leapp case of using elrepo kernel is new to me. I suggest you post this error message to elevate issue on github. Also beaware rockylinux community here is officially not supporting elevate or leapp.

[drescherjm]

Thanks, I see that there is a github repository for leapp and one for elevate. I am not using the latest versions of either of these. I am just using the versions that are installed by default. I will check into this probably next week.
