Hi Yuri - thank you for looking into this.

cat /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
best=True

it finds error in line1 header

Could you please send Leapp all logs. You can get them with the following command:

# tar -czf leapp-logs.tar.gz /var/log/leapp /var/lib/leapp/leapp.db

Hi Yuri,

Sorry I’m new to this community and not aware how to upload large files. can you please share how do I upload the tar file…Thanks

7

Let’s exclude leapp.db file. So please pack logs with:

# tar -czf leapp-logs.tar.gz /var/log/leapp

Get the leapp-logs.tar.gz to your desktop, and Upload here.

The /var/log/leapp is unnormaly big for some reason in your system.

Let’s back your system to a “clean“ state.

  • remove /etc/leapp/files/dnf.conf
  • make sure system’s /etc/dnf/dnf.conf doesn’t include any Leapp related and extra options
  • remove ELevate and Leapp stack:
    $ yum remove elevate-release $(rpm -qa | grep leapp)
  • remove Leapp logs and update the system:
    $ rm -rf /var/log/leapp
    $ dnf update
  • install ELevate:
    $ yum install -y ``http://repo.almalinux.org/elevate/elevate-release-latest-el$``(rpm --eval %rhel).noarch.rpm
    $ yum install leapp-upgrade leapp-data-almalinux
  • do leapp preupgrade and if succeeded, leapp upgrade

Hello Yuri,

Greetings. Sorry I don’t work on weekends and my system is still running 8.10 so I was not worried but most of the other systems are running 9.6 so wanted to match this system to 9.6 as well but it fails

I followed your steps and upgrade still fails …is there any way I can upload the leapp logs so you have a better idea?

Following errors occurred and the upgrade cannot continue:

1\. Actor: dnf_package_download

   Message: DNF execution failed with non zero exit code.

HIGH and MEDIUM severity reports:

1\. Detected custom leapp actors or files.

2\. Detected modified files of the in-place upgrade tooling.

Reports summary:

Errors:                      1

Inhibitors:                  0

HIGH severity reports:       2

MEDIUM severity reports:     0

LOW severity reports:        3

INFO severity reports:       3

Before continuing, review the full report below for details about discovered problems and possible remediation instructions:

A report has been generated at /var/log/leapp/leapp-report.txt

A report has been generated at /var/log/leapp/leapp-report.json

The logs should not be big now if you cleaned them before the leapp preupgrade and leapp upgrade
Please pack them as above, and try to attach here.

Hello,

Actually, nothing from you on my e-mail.

If you can, grep as many output as possible from the end of /var/log/leapp/leapp-upgrade.log and post into https://paste.almalinux.org or https://pastebin.com

Hi Yuri,

Any update for me?

Thanks
