Thank you! |

@sboldyreva you're the elevate docs maven for sure. I'd love your eyes on this! Especially because I think #484 might change some of this, too. |

| The cause of this error is that during the upgrade process, ELevate uses a multitude of repositories to migrate and upgrade the system. Among them is the usage of the CRB repository. Importantly, if the CRB repository was not enabled on the system prior to using ELevate, it will remain disabled after the upgrade. This can cause future system updates via dnf to fail as some packages/package dependencies now depend on the CRB repository. | ||

| This issue can be resolved by enabling the CRB repository. Either via `crb enable` if the EPEL repository is already enabeld, or via `dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb`. After the CRB repository is enabled, the dnf cache can be cleared and dnf update should return to normal functionality. |

It seems CRB/PowerTools could be the most popular case, but a similar issue can also be caused by another repo absence. I suggest pointing this to users and redirecting them to the repos page to check enabling commands - https://wiki.almalinux.org/repos/AlmaLinux.html
