Hi. Have this problem during RHEL 8.5 to Rocky 8.5 migration:

Removing dnf cache
Preparing to migrate Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5 (Ootpa) to Rocky Linux 8.Determining repository names for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5 (Ootpa)......
Found the following repositories which map from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5 (Ootpa) to Rocky Linux 8:
Getting system package names for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5 (Ootpa)./migrate2rocky.sh: line 441: repoinfo_results_cache: bad array subscript
Error: Unknown repo: ''Failed to fetch info for repository .
An error occurred while we were attempting to convert your system to Rocky Linux. Your system may be unstable. Script will now exit to prevent possible damage.
Hmm, as I understand I need a configured repo and made 'dnf update' before script running. Maybe this is error origin.
I will try to reproduce this today, it's been a while since I've tested migration from RHEL, so there could be an inherent problem there.
If I can't reproduce it I'll ask you for more info.
The issue is likely that your RHEL subscription has expired. If you're using the free "Red Hat Developer Subscription for Individuals" then see https://developers.redhat.com/articles/renew-your-red-hat-developer-program-subscription# for information on how to re-register. If you have a paid subscription then you'll need to renew it in the access portal. If you wish you can probably convert an expired paid subscription to a free developer subscription by first subscribing from the link at https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/03/31/no-cost-rhel-developer-subscription-now-available?source=sso#what_you_get then following the directions to re-register above.
Hello @nickosh,
looks like you are facing proxy/connectivity issue. Confirm that you are able to run dnf command below from your centos host:
With dnf:
dnf -y -q --setopt=baseos.mirrorlist= --setopt=baseos.metalink= --setopt=baseos.baseurl= --setopt=baseos.baseurl=https://dl.rockylinux.org/vault/centos/8.5.2111/BaseOS/x86_64/os/ --setopt=epel.excludepkgs=epel-release repoquery -i apr-util-ldap.x86_64
With curl:
curl https://dl.rockylinux.org/vault/centos/8.5.2111/BaseOS/x86_64/os/
I do not updated RHEL before migration, thats was my problem. I restore my license and updated, then migration was successful. Thank you for help and sorry for bother!
