Best upgrade experience ever 3.12/4.14

Hi DevTeam,

i just want to say Thank you for the seamless Upgrade experience from katello foreman 3.11/4.13 el8 to 3.12/4.14 el9

The provided leapp Upgrade went very well

Only Problem were orphaned packages,
i had to uninstall the following

dnf remove python38\*
dnf remove python39\*

it seems my instance is running from way back like foreman 3.5

i appreciate all your hard work on this upgrade path, very well done !

greetings
Dominik

Thanks for the feedback @dodo !

I wonder if the older python packages stayed in case users wanted to continue using them even after the upgrade, perhaps for compatibility reasons.

sorry cleaned up logs…

was something like
python3.11 cannot be installed because of python39 dnf error
when doing leapp upgrade

i followed this thread

and also removed python38

Glad you had a good experience and shared that. Always nice to hear.

We indeed don’t have instructions to remove those in case users are using the Python version for something else.
