CentOS -> AlmaLinux 8 Issue

[cPRex]

When this issue happens, it's usually because of a dependency problem on the operating system:

1940830 – yum and rpm become broken after installing module

bugzilla.redhat.com

Does a basic "yum update" also give that error at this point?

Thank you @cPRex

Command "yum update" generate exactly the same error:

===========================
root@server [~]# yum update

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

===========================

In the URL that you share in your last post "1940830 – yum and rpm become broken after installing module" mention that it is not a bug and doesn't share a clue to obtain a real/quick fix.

Do you think a reinstall of the operating system might be the best or fastest way to resolve it?
Does the cPanel team have a guide for handling it?
Any suggestion that helps us solve the problem or gives us a clue at least is welcome.

We really appreciate your support.

The best thing to do for this issue is to contact your hosting provider or datacenter. A reinstall of the operating system would wipe all data on the server, so you don't want to do that unless you absolutely have to.
