Rocky doesn’t support upgrades from CentOS 7. Make a clean installation of Rocky 8 and migrate your data from CentOS 7 to the new Rocky 8 server.

Yes you may have done it already and it may have worked, however, Rocky Linux and the Rocky Team do not support upgrades so this statement doesn’t change. You upgrade at your own risk, but Rocky do not support such systems.

@kevinc What @iwalker has told you is 100% true. However, it looks like you have a third-party repo enabled for PostgreSQL.

[image] kevinc: The problem here is it uninstalls postgres? Of course in in-place conversion to a different distro has to remove all CentOS 7 packages and install equivalent Rocky 8 packages. Getting rid of third-party packages before-hand, like postgres, probably solves your “problem”. When…

There is no “support team”. You will get community support here at these forums or our mattermost.

[image] pchinnu: will we have support from your team to fix them? As already explained, we don’t support upgrades. So there are no guarantees whatsoever. Especially from CentOS 7. As has already been suggested - clean install and migrate your applications.

The documentation clearly states versions 8 and 9. There is no mention of CentOS 7. These scripts are designed to migrate from one derivative to another of the same major version, such as RHEL 8 to Rocky Linux 8, or Oracle Linux 9 to Rocky Linux 9.

You are recommended to stand up new Rocky Linux systems and plan your migration that way.
