Hi everyone,  
I’m having an issue using sos report on this distribution, can someone indicate me what’s wrong with this?

Looks like a policy is required as per this [sosreport wiki](https://github.com/sosreport/sos/wiki/How-to-Write-a-Policy).

Download this [Rocky policy](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sosreport/sos/main/sos/policies/distros/rocky.py) from sosreport’s github repo and copy it to **/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sos/policies/distros** directory and re-run the command.

And I see a new `sos` package has been released with this changelog:

```auto
* Mon Jan 17 2022 Release Engineering <releng@rockylinux.org> - 4.1-5.rocky.3
- Backport Rocky Linux policy from upstream

```
