You are using MySQL 5.7 community server.

You can update to version 8.0 using the following command:

Once the MySQL upgrade is finished, you can then retry to elevate to AlmaLinux 8.

@cpaneljesse I assume your only concern here is this, right?

* 17-16:08:22 (3018) [ERROR] 2 package(s) installed from unsupported YUM repo 'elrepo' from /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo

[cpaneljesse]

@toddr yes, that is the concern.

I am seeing this error when checking Elevate on all my Vultr cPanel servers.

# yum list installed | grep elrepo elrepo-release.noarch 7.0-6.el7.elrepo @elrepo kmod-ixgbe.x86_64 5.12.5-2.el7_9.elrepo @elrepo

I have created test instances today on Vultr that are the same instance I originally installed cPanel on and they don't have these.

What is the status on this issue?

Can the packages and repo simply be removed and Elevate run?

---

I am also seeing a warning to remove python3 (again on all Vultr servers). I also see python3.6 is installed on the test instance today. I don't know why it's there (i.e if it's used by anything - it's not used by cPanel).

I assume there should be no issue removing it and running Elevate. Can anyone confirm?
