Hello,
I’m trying to upgrade my Gitlab CE server to 15.3.3 to 15.4.6 following the Gitlab’s Upgrade Path Upgrade Path
The first time I tried the upgrade, appeared this error
> Public attributes file is missing, run gitlab-ctl reconfigure to re-create it".
So, I did it. However, after that, now appears this error when I try the upgrade.
[user_with_sudo@gitlab ~]$ sudo dnf install gitlab-ce-15.4.6
gitlab_gitlab-ce 636 B/s | 862 B 00:01
gitlab_gitlab-ce-source 672 B/s | 862 B 00:01
gitlab_gitlab-ee 626 B/s | 862 B 00:01
gitlab_gitlab-ee-source 631 B/s | 862 B 00:01

I have tested again with SELinux in permissive mode with the same result. Also, I’ve downloaded only the package, and I executed locally with rpm with the same result.

I’ve recently updated other old gitlab 13.x instance to 16.x following the upgrade path and it was a piece of cake. I don’t understand why fails here.
Thanks in advance for your help.
