The infra.leapp collection is for doing upgrades of the RHEL major version, for example, from 8.x to 9.x. It looks like you are trying to go from 8.7 to 8.8?

[adpavlov]

Yes, 8.7 to 8.8. Didn’t know about this limitation. I think it’s worth to make a debug statement before trying leapp that upgrade is not possible between minor versions and end play.

Didn’t know about this limitation.

Not a limitation as much as just not in the scope of what Leapp and this role do.

I think it’s worth to make a debug statement before trying leapp that upgrade is not possible between minor versions and end play.

I respectfully disagree. We depend on the Leapp framework to determine what upgrade paths are possible and adding logic to the role to do the same would be redundant. It would also be problematic because the supported upgrade paths change over time as Red Hat releases new minor versions.

8.7 to 8.8 is a minor release you can just dnf update.....

[adpavlov]

I agree, just pre check would be nice that input parameters are not good and upgrade is not supported between minor versions. But it’s up to you.
