| Summary | 0000433: Issues with Scientific Linux 7 to alma8 migration | ||||
| Description | I'm testing SL7 -> alma8 migration (with the goal of then migrating to alma9). There are a number of issues: Pre-upgrade: The sl-logos package conflicts with almalinux-logos; I had to rpm -e to continue. Post-upgrade: almalinux-release is not installed. (I hacked around it by removing sl-release, manually setting /etc/os-release and /etc/redhat-release to look like Centos 8, running almalinux-deploy.sh, and mv'ing /etc/os-release.rpmnew to /etc/os-release). A number of EL7 packages are still present, some of which will interfere with migration to alma9: btrfs-progs-4.9.1-1.el7.x86_64 elevate-release-1.0-2.el7.noarch kernel-3.10.0-1160.102.1.el7.x86_64 leapp-0.14.0-1.el7.noarch leapp-data-almalinux-0.1-6.el7.noarch leapp-upgrade-el7toel8-0.16.0-6.el7.elevate.17.noarch python2-leapp-0.14.0-1.el7.noarch sl7-upgrade-0.1.1-2.el7.noarch yum-conf-extras-1.0-1.el7.noarch yum-conf-repos-1.0-1.el7.noarch yum-plugin-upgrade-helper-1.1.31-54.el7_8.noarch sl-indexhtml yum-conf-sl7x sl-release-notes sl-indexhtml would not uninstall cleanly, but can be removed with --nodeps and replaced with the almalinux-indexhtml package. The /etc/yum.conf file still has: exclude=python2-leapp,snactor,leapp-upgrade-el7toel8,leapp | ||||

Scientific Linux Source packages typically come from a repo named : sl-source |

Packages without an almalinux equivalent: sl-bookmarks sl-release-notes sl7-upgrade yum-conf-sl7x yum-conf-extras yum-conf-repos kmod-openafs-1.6-sl kmod-openafs-1.6-sl-1062 kmod-openafs-1.6-sl-1127 kmod-openafs-1.6-sl-1160 kmod-openafs-1.6-sl-123 kmod-openafs-1.6-sl-229 kmod-openafs-1.6-sl-327 kmod-openafs-1.6-sl-514 kmod-openafs-1.6-sl-693 kmod-openafs-1.6-sl-862 kmod-openafs-1.6-sl-957 openafs-1.6-sl openafs-1.6-sl-authlibs openafs-1.6-sl-authlibs-devel openafs-1.6-sl-client openafs-1.6-sl-compat openafs-1.6-sl-devel openafs-1.6-sl-kernel-source openafs-1.6-sl-kpasswd openafs-1.6-sl-krb5 openafs-1.6-sl-module-tools openafs-1.6-sl-plumbing-tools openafs-1.6-sl-server Packages to replace with their almalinux equivalent: sl-indexhtml to almalinux-indexhtml sl-logos to almalinux-logos sl-release to almalinux-release |

Is that OK if all packages "without an almalinux equivalent" are removed ? Especially openafs related ... |
|
|
Also, It is not required to know repository of "Scientific Linux Source packages". For each package you listed above, please specify repository name (the package comes from). |

Some how this was submitted while I was still typing.... yum-conf-extras comes from repos yum-conf-repos can come from either sl or repos The rest can come from any of: sl sl-security sl-fastbugs Pat |

Some updates related to the migration. 1. Adding some packages to pes-events.json allows SL migration. 2. The only issue occurs: 2024-05-14 19:36:13.393 DEBUG PID: 1021 leapp.workflow.RPMUpgrade.dnf_upgrade_transaction: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/doc/redhat-release;664392c1: cpio: File from package already exists as a directory in system The reason is the /usr/share/doc/redhat-release directory isn't owned by any SL package. So it remains in file-system even after all SL packages are removed, and conflicts with almalinux-release package, which tries to install it as file (symlink). |
|
|
The solution could be to update the sl-release package to own the /usr/share/doc/redhat-release directory. The following patch can do the job: --- /root/rpmbuild/SPECS/sl-release.spec 2020-10-05 18:30:07.000000000 +0300 +++ /root/rpmbuild/SPECS/sl-release.spec.patched 2024-05-15 11:39:33.978514508 +0300 @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ # increment this to get the stuff after the - higher # helps for making the rolling one go obsolete -%define release_count 1 +%define release_count 2 # Ok so we are 7.minor_release_version, what should # that value be? @@ -421,6 +421,7 @@ fi /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/ /etc/rpm/macros.dist %{_sysconfdir}/pki/secure-boot/ +%{_docdir}/redhat-release %{_docdir}/redhat-release/* %{_docdir}/%{name} %{_datadir}/redhat-release/* @@ -452,6 +453,9 @@ fi ################################################################## %changelog +* Wed May 15 2024 Yuriy Kohut <ykohut@almalinux.org> - 7.9-0.2 +- Include /usr/share/doc/redhat-release directory to the package + * Wed Sep 30 2020 Pat Riehecky <riehecky@fnal.gov> - 7.9-0.1 - Add new secure boot key - Bump for 7.9 BETA Please let know if you are able to make such update to the sl-release package. |

The same is for /usr/share/redhat-release directory. Updated patch will look like: sl-release.spec.patch (1,100 bytes)

Also, the workaround could be removing of both directories prior to running the upgrade. # rm -rf /usr/share/redhat-release /usr/share/doc/redhat-release # leapp preupgrade ... |
|
|
For now the workaround is probably the way to go. |
|
|
ykohut, looks like your patch is reversed. |
|

I. The updated 'leapp-data-almalinux' package is available. It includes Scientific Linux specific data. II. To do the migration, please use the instruction at https://wiki.almalinux.org/elevate/ELevating-CentOS7-to-AlmaLinux-9.html#migrate-centos-7-to-almalinux-8 Prior to the 'Install leapp packages and migration data for AlmaLinux:' step, you should: 1). Install 'elevate-testing' repository, run: # curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/elevate-testing.repo https://repo.almalinux.org/elevate/testing/elevate-testing.repo 2). Apply the workaround by running: # rm -rf /usr/share/redhat-release /usr/share/doc/redhat-release III. Follow the rest steps unchanged. |
