When the package-cleanup --dupes command fails on RHEL 9 like systems, the actual error message is displayed as if the duplicate packages were discovered.
[2024-08-02T13:12:39+0000] TASK - [Prepare: Check if there are any duplicate installed packages on the system] [2024-08-02T13:12:39+0000] DEBUG - Calling command '/usr/bin/package-cleanup --dupes --quiet' ERROR - (ERROR) DUPLICATE_PACKAGES::DUPLICATE_PACKAGES_FOUND - Duplicate packages found on the system Description: The system contains one or more packages with multiple versions. Diagnosis: The following packages have multiple versions: Unable to detect release version (use '--releasever' to specify release version), Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried. Remediations: This error can be resolved by removing duplicate versions of the listed packages. The command 'package-cleanup' can be used to automatically remove duplicate packages on the system.
The issue lies here , where we do not include system major version 9.
Tested with a patch of if system_info.version.major in (8, 9) and ret_code == 1: or if system_info.version.major >= 8 and ret_code == 1: and works fine.
