On running centos2ol.sh, after some time I get:

"Switch successful. Syncing with Oracle Linux repositories. Last metadata expiration check: 0:02:12 ago on Tue 20 Jun 2023 08:39:29 BST.

From I experience... I do have a snapshot first or backup if it is a VMware or any virtual but if it is physical then that could be the problem.

Usually, i do the test first, and before running the script, I will remove those errors by using yum remove.
