Environment

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6 EUS
• Target: RHEL 10.0 EUS
• Managed via Red Hat Satellite
• Content Views using EUS repositories only

Issue

• When attempting an in-place upgrade from RHEL 9.6 EUS to RHEL 10.0 EUS on a system registered to Satellite, the leapp preupgrade process fails with a high-risk inhibitor:

  Risk Factor: high (inhibitor)
  Title: There are no enabled target repositories
  

Resolution

The issue has been solved in RHBA-2026:13893. To apply the fix:

1. Check the leapp-upgrade version:

   # rpm -qa | grep leapp-upgrade
   

2. The version should be leapp-upgrade-el9toel10-0.22.0-1.el9_6.1 or higher

3. If the leapp-upgrade version is lower, update the leapp-upgrade package:

   # dnf update leapp-upgrade

2. Verify Content View repositories include only EUS repositories:

   RHEL 9.6 EUS BaseOS and AppStream
   RHEL 10.0 EUS BaseOS and AppStream
   

3. Confirm system is using this Content View:

   subscription-manager repos --list-enabled
   

4. Run pre-upgrade check:

   leapp preupgrade
   

5. Observe inhibitor in /var/log/leapp/leapp-report.txt:

   Risk Factor: high (inhibitor)
   Title: There are no enabled target repositories
   Summary: This can happen when a system is not correctly registered...
