Hello

I’m trying to upgrade a Centos 7 OVH VPS to Alma Linux 8 but I’m getting this error:

STDERR:
Failed to create directory /var/lib/leapp/el8userspace//sys/fs/selinux: Read-only file system

Any idea how to resolve this issue?

CentOS 7 did not have /usr/lib64/libzip.so.5but it could have had /usr/lib64/libzip.so.2
You have added /usr/lib64/libzip.so.5 to your CentOS 7 with libzip5-1.10.1-1.el7.remi.x86_64 package.
AlmaLinux 8 could have /usr/lib64/libzip.so.5 (from package libzip-1.5.1-2.module_el8.3.0+2010+7c76a223.x86_64)

The conversion script does not know whether it can replace libzip5 with libzip.

The logical solution is to remove the libzip5 and note which applications are removed with it.
After the upgrade you can then (re)install those applications (if still relevant).
