Trying to migrate to Rocky 8 from CentOS 8.5.2111 about rocky-tools HOT 4 OPEN

It appears that there are certain 3rd-party repos that no longer work with CentOS 8.5 because they are expecting newer packages than those provided by that old release of CentOS, so it's causing the pre-update to fail.

The pre-update is done before any changes are made to your system so that a failed update will stop the migration before damage is done, your system should not need to be restored from your snapshot at this stage, but it's a good idea that you took one anyways.

Can you try this:

dnf repolist --enabled remi\* epel\* # make a note of the resulting repos
dnf config-manager --disable epel\* remi\*
migrate2rocky -r
dnf config-manager --enable <repos that you noted in the first step above>
dnf update

Let me know if it works, if so I'll make a change to migrate2rocky that I'd like you to test at that point as well.

Thank you. Other than some file conflicts with ImageMagick, that worked perfectly.
I had to remove ImageMagick and ImageMagick-libs and re-install them manually.

Thanks for the feedback. I will work on an update that does these steps automatically and get back to you for testing.
