You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

You have 1.22. You cannot upgrade directly to the latest version, on probably not to the nightly anyway.

As mentioned on the upgrade page you have linked to:

Katello supports upgrades from the previous two versions only. Upgrades should be performed sequentially without skipping versions in between.

ok, thanks for your response,

could you please suggest upgrade path for me?

i was trying to install latest and it was showing soo many decencies

4

Upgrade version by version until 3.18. You don’t mention which the katello version you have but I guess it’s 3.12. Thus upgrade to 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, 3.17 until 3.18. That’s the safest path.

5

HI

yes katello version is 3.12

let me try and i will update a you, thanks a lot

6

HI

i was trying to update version by version , means katello to 3.12 and foreman to 1.23

after each upgrade, do i need to run foreman-installer ?

7

I would follow the upgrade instructions for each katello version starting with 3.13.

I would also run foreman-installer as instructed there during each update to be safe.

Don’t do the pulp3 migration mentioned from version 3.15. You don’t have to do the migration at the moment. If you want to do the migration anyway, do it after the last upgrade to 3.18.

HI

what could be the reason for below failure
2021-02-18 16:34:45 [ERROR ] [configure] Proxy zkwforeman01.example.com has failed to load one or more features (Registration), check /var/log/foreman-proxy/proxy.log for configuration errors

UPDATE:

i have tried systemctl restart foreman && foreman-installer , still same

11

The upgrade instructions for 3.13 say to use

foreman-installer --scenario katello --upgrade

to run the installer and just ‘foreman-installer’.

You need to follow the instructions of each version you upgrade to… (except the pulp3 migration part…)
