Can you send me the output of:
rpm -q --what-provides redhat-release
and:
rpm -q redhat-release
er, make that:
rpm -q --whatprovides redhat-release
(ie, no dash in whatprovides)
Please close this. I reinstalled Redhat 8 to resolve the problem. I cannot, therefore, provide the additional information requested. Sorry. |
