Problem:
Some time since upgrading foreman and katello to latest, yum upgrade now fails with the following:

Hi @grimzly welcome.

We had a PR ready to land with createrepo_c 0.20.0, this will probably fix this issue.

Can you please try to run the update again and see if it will get fixed?

Seems like it may get past the first problem reported, but it’s still reporting the second.

@grimzly what OS of EL8 is being used on this installation?

I can see here that it’s provided by Appstream on CentosStream and Alma/Rocky.

Doing a quick search on google, I found this dnf update - none of the providers can be installed - CentOS might be related

You are on CentOS 8 Stream? It seems bpftrace hasn’t been updated, yet, to match the update libllvm-libs package. This is not a problem of Foreman/Katello. This error should come if you just do an dnf update.

Simple solution: remove bpftrace from you system. That should also remove dependencies. Then run dnf update to get everything up-to-date. After that, try the Foreman upgrade again…

Yeah. I’m just not sure and I’m probably just going to wait a bit to see if package updates resolve this.

I did test removing bptrace which then gave me similar error about bcc package. I removed that as well and could then upgrade all packages. Unfortunately, yum/dnf completely broken afterwards.

It may just be something unique to our server instance. I really appreciate the guidance though.
