Failure while migrating from CentOS 8

[vandah]

I tried running the migrate2rocky tool but arrived at the following error:

Getting system package names for CentOS Linux 8........Error: No Matches found

Can't get package that provides /etc/yum.repos.d/local-repository-0.repo.

This is right after running the CentOS 8 (8.3.2011) installation and rebooting. I also tried with: CentOS 8.4.2105 and AlmaLinux 8.4 (all originally from the same ISO file) and got the same results.

More details:

An error occurred while we were attempting to convert your system to Rocky Linux. Your system may be unstable. Script will now exit to prevent possible damage.

I think you should update to centos 8.5 first and then run the migration script.

from Rocky Docs:

[pajamian]

Did you modify the repos to point to a local repo, perhaps with a different name other than baseos?

Where did you get the install isos from? This doesn't look to be a stock CentOS 8 install.

I'm facing the same issue. Did you ever resolve this? And if so, how?

I am having the same problem as well.

Me too.

Server (VM) was created from official ISO. Was updated to 8.5.2111
Does indeed use modified repo config because server is behind a firewall and does not have internet access. Repos are mirrored on a local server.
