I am performing a centos2alma upgrade on a dev machine and although it says it finished – looking at the log file I notice:
wget https://github.com/plesk/centos2alma/releases/download/v1.4.0/centos2alma-1.4.0.zip
unzip centos2alma-1.4.0.zip
./centos2alma
tail /var/log/plesk/centos2alma.log

I have tried updating all packages – but it says nothing needs doing
sudo yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* epel: d2lzkl7pfhq30w.cloudfront.net
No packages marked for update
How do I get around this? (and can I run the upgrade more than once?)
It looks like, although I was running this as root (on the server itself – not a putty), I needed to change /etc/ssh/sshd_config to include the line PermitRootLogin yes (and then doing a sudo systemctl restart sshd). Rerunning the cents2alma seems to run for longer after that change
hostnamectl now shows AlmaLinux 8.10 (Cerulean Leopard)
