migrate2rocky.sh aborts "Failed to download metadata for repo 'PowerTools'"

[m1schmidt]

The migration was running along fine -- is there a way to recover gracefully?

Thanks for the report.

Can you show me the current output of dnf repolist all; dnf repoinfo PowerTools powertools

Thanks

dnf repoinfo PowerTools powertools

CentOS-8 - PowerTools 595 B/s | 38 B 00:00
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'PowerTools': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist

What's the output of: grep PowerTools /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo

[pajamian]

I should note that you still have PowerTools installed from CentOS somehow. RockyLinux powertools is also installed. The initial system package swap successfully removed centos-linux-repos which should have removed the PowerTools repo from CentOS, so there appears to be an errant .repo file in your yum.repos.d directory that is still trying to reference PowerTools and the goal here is to find out what it is and why it's there.

I'm fine with removing the CentOS PowerTools repo. Is it possible to continue along with the migration at this point?

[pajamian]

You would have to finish it manually. My recommendation is to start over if you can and:

mv /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-PowerTools.repo{,.DISABLED}
migrate2rocky -r
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

[m1schmidt]

I will likely start over, however I was thinking about running the migration manually. I've looked through the documentation and don't see a procedure outlined for a manual finish. Can you point me in the right direction?

[pajamian]

Just a dnf distro-sync followed by fixing up EFI boot if applicable.

[bunhin]

i got fail migration centos 8 already upgraded to 8.5.2111 before running the script for migration, fail just before converting packages, with error messages of fail to get metadata 'Base OS' or Appstream.

I already try solution from @pajamian that seem work to other user, but still no luck. Try other approach as well as discussed in rocky linux forum. Still failing.

One thing that i did may relate is may be this command that i entered when installing postgresql-12 like this
sudo dnf -q -y module disable postgresql
dnf update is ok and uptodate before migration script started.

Is anything i miss for successful migration, please help.
