Problem:
During the upgrade of Foreman(2.0.3 -> 2.1.4) and katello (3.15 -> 3.16) i got the following error:

Hi!

I can only speculate a bit. Did you install rh-postgresql12-postgresql-evr from the Katello-Pulpcore repo? I had to do it manually. Does the installer log show more information?

Hi,

i think i found the reason for this problem.
dureing the update a new /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/katello-answers.yaml is created as /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/katello-answers.yaml.rpmnew.
in this new yaml file is a parameter
katello:
use_pulp_2_for_yum: false

which is used in the rb file.
after adding this parameter to the exisiting yaml file foreman-installer runs without any problems.

the question now is how can this happen ?

Kind Regards
Frank
