oraclelinux-release-el8 package not present after CentOS 7 to Oracle Linux 8

[uoe-pjackson]

Actual behavior
Following what appears to be a another-wise successful upgrade from Centos 7 to Oracle Linux 8 package updates/installs fail. Note this is very similar to what happened in issue #54.

[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# dnf install nmap
Last metadata expiration check: 23:30:05 ago on Mon 27 Feb 2023 14:46:34 GMT.
No match for argument: nmap
Error: Unable to find a match: nmap

It appears to be due to /etc/yum.repo.d/oracle-linux-ol8.repo is not preset:

[root@leapp-test yum.repos.d]# ls -l
total 16
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  379 Mar 17  2023 ELevate.repo

this appears to be due to the absence of oraclelinux-release-el8

# rpm -q oraclelinux-release-el8
package oraclelinux-release-el8 is not installed

Installing the package manually fixes the issue

[root@leapp-test peter]# dnf install https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL8/baseos/latest/x86_64/getPackage/oraclelinux-release-el8-1.0-28.el8.x86_64.rpm

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Perform a Fresh install of CentOS 7 picking the Minimal install type
2. Perform upgrade with:

yum install -y http://repo.almalinux.org/elevate/elevate-release-latest-el7.noarch.rpm
yum install -y leapp-upgrade leapp-data-oraclelinux
leapp answer --add --section remove_pam_pkcs11_module_check.confirm=True
leapp preupgrade
leapp upgrade --reboot

3. Confirm upgrade is sucessful:

$ cat /etc/system-release
Oracle Linux Server release 8.9
$ uname -a
Linux leapp-test 4.18.0-513.11.0.1.el8_9.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jan 11 11:30:45 PST 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

4. Attempt to install a package

# dnf install nmap
Last metadata expiration check: 1:21:36 ago on Thu 01 Feb 2024 21:33:27 GMT.
No match for argument: nmap
Error: Unable to find a match: nmap

Expected behavior
I'd expect the nmap package to be installed

I should add that an upgrade worked successfully on 2024-01-26 so something has likely changed since then. Maybe at Oracle's end?

[MitchellBot]

I came here to report the same, and am glad I'm not the only one experiencing the issue. For a workaround, we discovered that using this specific version of leap-data-oraclelinux works:
leapp-data-oraclelinux-0.2-3.el7.2

Oddly, this package is from January 17th 2024 whereas the 0.2-4.el7 package that is marked as the "latest" is from November 2023.

I've found what I believe is the issue.

This should be "repository": "ol8-baseos"

I've confirmed by manually making this change that pes-events.json that the upgrade runs ok.

Thanks for the report!
We'll fix this soon.
