Nothing to do

Environment

• TuxCare Radar

Solution

The issue is caused by distroverpkg parameter in /etc/yum.conf overriding the $releasever variable. 

When distroverpkg is set to redhat-release, it expands to the full version string (e.g., 7.9-12.el7_9) instead of just the minor version (7.9) or the main repository identifier (7Server).
