Migration will fail if packages in ol8_baseos_latest are required

[mizuki-maeshima]

Hello,

I'm trying to migrate from CentOS8 to OL8.

Problem

It may fail if certain packages are not installed beforehand.
In my environment, script execution fails due to the absence of "libsubid.so.3" (shadow-utils-subid package).

[root@centos8-mae /]# rpm -qa | grep shadow-utils-subid

[root@centos8-mae lib]# ls /lib64/libsubid*
/lib64/libsubid_sss.so

[root@centos8-mae ~]# bash centos2ol.sh

“dnf update” in the script was failing.
Running "dnf update" gives the same error.

Possible Solution

The "shadow-utils-subid" package isn't available in "ol8_appstream", but it exists in "ol8_baseos_latest".
However, the script only enables "ol8_appstream".

Modifying the "ol8_appstream" part in the script to "ol8_*" will resolve this issue.
I would appreciate it if you would consider making changes.
