Error Converting Oracle Linux 8.3 to RHEL about convert2rhel HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @shikari7, thanks for taking the time to file the issue.

I suppose you have the BaseOS repository defined in one of the repofiles in /etc/yum.repos.d/.
You also need to have AppStream repository defined and passed to convert2rhel through the --enablerepo option so then the command may look like:
convert2rhel --disable-submgr --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo BaseOS --enablerepo AppStream --no-rpm-va

Regarding the above, I'm quoting the article about the conversions:

RHEL 8 content is distributed through two default repositories, BaseOS and AppStream. You must configure both for a successful conversion. When running the Convert2RHEL utility, make sure to enable both repositories using the --enablerepo option. For more information, see Considerations in adopting RHEL 8.

There's currently an issue with expanding the $releasever variable in a baseurl of repositories. Please make sure to replace the $releasever variable in the baseurl of the BaseOS and AppStream repositories with either 8Server or 8.3, depending on what URLs you have access to.

Did you add rhel-BaseOS repo in your directory /etc/yum.repos.d/ ?
Are files /etc/centos-release, /etc/redhat-release and /etc/os-release /etc/system-release present ?

@shikari7, with the recently released version 0.16, you can now convert the system much easier without the need to configure the above repositories manually. Read the updated article https://access.redhat.com/articles/2360841 on how to use convert2rhel with Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM).

Also, in the new version, we have fixed expanding the $releasever variable in the repository baseurl.
