Cobbler Server failed on a Rocky Linux Installation

Hi, I'm not an expert and I'm trying to install Rocky Linux on a network booted virtual machine. After installing cobbler and configuring it, I run the virtual machine.
It shows a bug about "Invalid value for inst.repo:$tree". I have tried to fix it in a thousand ways but I have not been able, and I was wondering if someone could help me to know what the error is.

This is what appears in the cobbler log:

As nobody has replied for a while, have you considered asking Rocky themselves https://forums.rockylinux.org/ ?

Based on the error/output, I'd suspect Cobbler as being where the issue is, so no reason to bother Rocky team over it.

That's confirmed by searching their issue tracker, which reveals a currently-unresolved request to add support for Rocky.

(There's a proposed patch; I've no idea how easy/difficult applying it might be.)

It certainly sounds like a "missing package" to me.
