Problem:
My Foreman server is running on Rocky Linux 8, and I want to use the leapp tool to upgrade it to Rocky Linux 9.
The release of Foreman/Katello should remain the same (3.12), just changing from el8 to el9.
When I run leapp preupgrade, dnf shows dependency errors.
I had prepared the system, before starting the upgrade, and dnf update didn’t have any updates (nor errors) before I started.
These are the dependency errors:
# leapp preupgrade --no-rhsm

Hint: If there was a problem reaching remote content (see stderr output) and proxy is configured in the YUM/DNF configuration file, the proxy configuration is likely causing this error. Make sure the proxy is properly configured in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf. It's also possible the proxy settings in the DNF configuration file are incompatible with the target system. A compatible configuration can be placed in /etc/leapp/files/dnf.conf which, if present, it will be used during some parts of the upgrade instead of original /etc/dnf/dnf.conf. In such case the configuration will also be applied to the target system. Note that /etc/dnf/dnf.conf needs to be still configured correctly for your current system to pass the early phases of the upgrade process.
