OL8 to 9 fails with Title: Data file /etc/leapp/files/repomap.json is missing or invalid.

Ray DietzApr 7 2025

Trying to upgrade to OL9 and have done quite a few with success already. However, I am getting this, after reinstalling the elevate and leapp packages and removing some other software. Any one have any thoughts?

Risk Factor: high (error)
Title: Data file /etc/leapp/files/repomap.json is missing or invalid.
Summary: {"details": "File /etc/leapp/files/repomap.json does not exist.", "hint": "All official data files are part of the installed rpms these days. The rpm is the only official source of the official data files for in-place upgrades. This issue is usually encountered when the data files are incorrectly customized, replaced, or removed (e.g. by custom scripts). In case you want to recover the original /etc/leapp/files/repomap.json file, remove the current one (if it still exists) and reinstall the following packages: leapp-upgrade-el8toel9."}
