Hi again, Sorry for the trouble this is causing you. It's always been quite cumbersome to do this kind of upgrade. My best suggestion right now is to join: https://chat.almalinux.org/landing#/ And see if anyone in there can help you out. It looks like your python2.7 installation is broken. And since yum is dependent on that, you're kinda stranded. Unfortunately I only have limited time, so I can't help you out with that. /tony On Mon, 05 Dec 2022 14:38:35 -0000 just4safe@hotmail.com wrote:
@Tony,
Many thanks for your supportive reply, but: I found the 'elevate/leapp' method on this almalinux-site: "https://wiki.almalinux.org/elevate/ELevate-quickstart-guide.html"
On that site is explicitely stated: "This guide contains steps on how to upgrade CentOS 7 to RHEL8 derivatives such as AlmaLinux, EuroLinux, CentOS Stream, Oracle, and Rocky Linux. You need CentOS 7 system installed to use this guide.".
I used the steps of just this site, resulting in the blocking described earlier. I took the method for a valid one..
An alternative would be using the "almalinux-deploy.sh" script, but that is applicable only for transitions Centos 8 > Almalinux 8, and -sad enough- I don't get how to upgrade my Centos 7.9 to Centos 8, despite the method using multiple 'sed'-files, being hinted to on the github site offering the deploy script. "https://github.com/AlmaLinux/almalinux-deploy" The steps described for using these sed-commands (only one? which? all?) simply are too big for me.
So I am blocked on 2 levels now... oldisnotnice _______________________________________________ AlmaLinux Users mailing list -- users@lists.almalinux.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@lists.almalinux.org
