Lost dnf after migration from Centos7/8 to AlmaLinux

I migrated my CentOS 7 to 8 and then to AlmaLinux, but in the process i lost dnf and yum. Now i try to fix, but have a lot of problems with dependencies etc. Only rpm is working so i have to do all “manually”.

If i try:

Quote:

rpm -ivh https:/ /vault.centos.org/centos/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/rpm-libs-4.14.3-19.el8.x86_64.rpm

i get an error:

Quote:

Failed dependencies: rpm = 4.14.3-19.el8 is needed by rpm-libs-4.14.3-19.el8.x86_64

but if try:

Quote:

rpm -ivh https:/ /repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/rpm-4.14.3-19.el8_5.2.x86_64.rpm

i get a lot of conflicts https://pastebin.com/LexNqzY5

How can i fix it? I have only an remote access (via ssh or webmin) to this system.
I have an Centos 7 and AlmaLinux on VirtualBox, so i can possibly transfer some files from there.

How exactly did you perform these steps?
Did yum and dnf work after you migrated from centos 7 to 8?
What repos do you have?

Code:

yum repolist
or
dnf repolist
