Hi all,
My home desktop machine runs Centos 7.9 Due to the Centos issues I want to migrate to Almalinux (8 or later). I updated Centos 7.9 I found a/the site with the Elevate/Leapp route, so I started there. After making steps as in the description (on that page), in Leapp I did the preupgrade check, and that returns some issues which seem to block the process:
start of last part of screen output:
Complete! ==> Processing phase `TargetTransactionCheck` ====> * local_repos_inhibit Inhibits the upgrade if local repositories were found. ====> * dnf_transaction_check This actor tries to solve the RPM transaction to verify the all package dependencies can be successfully resolved. Applying transaction workaround - yum config fix

end of screen output.
I guess, something in python-2.7 is a problem; I guess, something in leapp-repositories is a problem. and maybe the AttributeError...
Being a simple and old Centosuser, I do not know how to solve this. Can any member give the help to overcome this blocking?
Note: my Centos 7.9 uses 'yum' and not 'dnf' as a manager.
