Comment 1 Till Maas 2020-05-03 18:48:32 UTC
Additional info: After this error, they system was broken so that convert2rhel cannot be called anymore because it seems to have removed /etc/system-release at this point.

Comment 2 Michal Bocek 2020-05-04 07:50:24 UTC
Hi Till, thanks for the report and sorry for the troubles. We know about the issue and we're working on it.

There are these three possible workarounds for now:
- import the RHEL GPG key before running the conversion
  `rpm --import /<mnt_rhel repo baseurl path>/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release`
- add "gpgcheck=0" to the mnt_rhel repo definition
- add "gpgkey=file:///<mnt_rhel repo baseurl path>/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release" to the mnt_rhel repo definition

Thanks, it would be great if you would add this info to the documentation at:

Comment 5 Michal Bocek 2020-05-04 08:41:16 UTC
Indeed. We're on it.

Comment 6 Michal Bocek 2020-05-07 14:46:56 UTC
We've added the following to the documentation:
"Important: The convert2rhel utility currently does not import GPG keys automatically. To prevent a conversion failure, either import the RHEL GPG key (release key 2) before running convert2rhel, or ensure that yum skips the GPG key check by adding the gpgcheck=0 directive to the custom repository definitions."

Comment 7 Michal Bocek 2020-05-07 14:48:51 UTC
There's an upstream PR that should resolve the issue: https://github.com/oamg/convert2rhel/pull/31
