Update to V8: dracut-network dependencies

[freetree]

Hello,
I have problems updating CentOS 7 to CentOS 8.
I can start the update process

Code: Select all

dnf -y --releasever=8 --allowerasing --setopt=deltarpm=false distro-sync

because I get two dependence errors:

Code: Select all

Error: transaction check vs depsolve:
(NetworkManager >= 1.20 or dhclient) is needed by dracut-network-049-135.git20210121.el8.x86_64
rpmlib(RichDependencies) <= 4.12.0-1 is needed by dracut-network-049-135.git20210121.el8.x86_64

I'm new to CentOS so I would be happy for every help
Ask me if more information are helpful.

Thx

There is no update from 7 to 8. You reinstall.

Furthermore, you don't want to install CentOS Linux 8. Its end of life is this year.

The most similar (to CL8) alternatives now are RHEL 8, AlmaLinux OS, and RockyLinux.

I found a guid to update from CentOS 7 to 8 and then migrate to Rocky Linux:

I wanted to try this, because reinstalling is a little harder in this scenario.
Is there a solution, or would you recommend reinstalling the new OS?

You can find guides to all sorts of things on the internet. Better to take an expert like Trevor's advice.
