Hi Yuri - thank you for looking into this.

cat /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
[main]
gpgcheck=1

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

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

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

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.
