Leapp upgrade on Red Hat Satellite Server fail with error "broken groups or modules: virt:rhel"

Solution Verified - Updated 13 Jun 2024

Environment

Red Hat Satellite 6.11

Issue

Leapp upgrade fail with below error on Red Hat Satellite Server:

[ERROR] Actor: dnf_transaction_check
Message: DNF execution failed with non zero exit code.
STDOUT:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:08 ago on Fri Jan 20 07:58:10 2023.
STDERR:
Cannot enable multiple streams for module 'virt'
Unable to resolve argument virt:rhel
Error: Problems in request:
broken groups or modules: virt:rhel

Resolution

On Red Hat Satellite Server remove "libvirt-daemon"* packages with below command.
```
# rpm -e --nodeps $(rpm -qa libvirt-daemon*)
```
After the leapp upgrade is completed package will be installed back on Red Hat Satellite Server.
These "libvirt-daemon"* packages are a dependency to the foreman-discovery-image package. So even if the upgrade didn't install these packages back automatically, we could have just reinstalled the foreman-discovery-image package, and it should install all the libvirt-daemon packages as dependencies.
