The problem is that 6.10 repos don't include python2-solv and createrepo_c packages (but libsolv, and createrepo_c-libs), as those are not needed for 6.10/Pulp3 operations.
However, when upgrading from 6.9, users do have python2-solv and createrepo_c installed as those were needed for Pulp2, and the complete Pulp2 removal happens *after* the full upgrade to 6.10.

This wasn't a problem before, where we had the same versions of those packages in 6.9 and 6.10, but now that we upgraded them in 6.10…

The correct solution here would be to add python2-solv and createrepo_c (and whatever else might be missing) to the comps of 6.10, so that those packages show up in the compose, even if nothing depends on them.

Oh, and if anybody needs a workaround in the meantime: you can install http://download.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/vol/rhel-7/packages/libsolv/0.7.20/1.el7pc/x86_64/python2-solv-0.7.20-1.el7pc.x86_64.rpm and http://download.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/vol/rhel-7/packages/createrepo_c/0.17.6/0.1.el7pc/x86_64/createrepo_c-0.17.6-0.1.el7pc.x86_64.rpm the moment before you call foreman-maintain upgrade, and it should work

Comment 4 Mike McCune 2021-10-04 14:57:38 UTC

you may also need:

http://download.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/vol/rhel-7/packages/createrepo_c/0.17.6/0.1.el7pc/x86_64/createrepo_c-libs-0.17.6-0.1.el7pc.x86_64.rpm
