Leapp upgrade fails with error 'No repositories available' or 'This system has no repositories available through subscriptions'

Environment

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9

Issue

• Re-running the failed Leapp upgrade command results in the following error:

     # leapp upgrade
     This system has no repositories available through subscriptions.
  
     # dnf repolist
     Updating Subscription Management repositories.
     Unable to read consumer identity
  
     This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use "rhc" or "subscription-manager" to register.
  
     No repositories available
  
     # subscription-manager repos
     This system has no repositories available through subscriptions.
  

Resolution

• Check if the RHEL product certificate is present in /etc/pki/product or /etc/pki/product-default.

     # ls /etc/pki/product
  
     # ls /etc/pki/product-default
  

• If the product certificate is missing from the above directories, download it from the This content is not included.Red Hat customer portal lab and place it in /etc/pki/product.

• Then verify the certificate details.

  # rct cat-cert /etc/pki/product/479.pem
  

Root Cause

• When the Leapp upgrade command fails on the system for any reason, the product certificates may sometimes be removed from the system. Need to place the correct product certificates to /etc/pki/product or /etc/pki/product-default to solve this.
