Hi all,

It is an old thraed, but without answer. I have the same exact problem while trying to migrate from RHEL 8.9 Ooopta (which is no more supported), to rockylinux.

Does someone has a suggestion for this problem ?

Here are the short log of the migration :slight_smile:

I did nod find any hint for this problem after doing a research on internet…

I can add that the rhel.repo is empty :slight_smile:
