I’m having trouble upgrading a lab PC to alma9 from centos7. I’m following this guide for doing so, and don’t see any errors until the sudo leapp upgrade step. The error in the log file looks like this:

Does anyone here have insight into this issue? obviously there’s a conflict, but I can’t just remove the files i.e. /etc/centos-release as they are needed for the upgrade. Is it just due to the Centos7 EoL, and there’s nothing to do except install Alma9 from scratch instead of upgrading?
The error I see is very similar to this thread but it seems that inquiry got missed.
