Leapp upgrade fails during ELevate-Upgrade-Initramfs

Question

I am trying to upgrade several physical servers from RHEL 7.9 to linux rocky 8.6. So far the process was successful on 3-4 servers. On the server that I have the issue everything works fine and when I reboot the server then I choose to boot with ELevate-Upgrade-Initramfs.

Running:

leapp preupgrade

come back without any errors

After that I am running:

leapp upgrade

and it completes without any issues. I do a reboot and after choosing "ELevate-Upgrade-Initramfs", is trying to do the upgrade and it fails.

Here is the last part of the leapp-upgrade.log

If you need any further log files or output of any command I can provide it.

There is a bug in /usr/share/leapp-repository/repositories/system_upgrade/common/libraries/dnfplugin.py. From line 217, it should be

        except CalledProcessError as e:
            if six.PY3:
                e.stdout = e.stdout.encode('utf-8', 'xmlcharrefreplace')
                e.stderr = e.stdout.encode('utf-8', 'xmlcharrefreplace')

(so it should test for PY3, not PY2.

What @user956584 posted is about different issue in code. Correct issue is this one https://github.com/oamg/leapp-repository/issues/1016 and it refers to AlmaLinux specific ticket in it. (https://github.com/AlmaLinux/almalinux-deploy/issues/161) – Kris Avi Feb 28 '23 at 14:10

Have the exact same problem on the exact same system. Did the upgrade weeks ago, but had with the programs on this system problems after the update. So rolled back and figured out a solution, wanted to update today and now this.
