Description

Just upgraded my PhotonOS 2.0 appliance to PhotonOS 3.0 using the script. Couple oddities I've discovered.

  1. Splash screen not updated, still says 2.0
    This may not sound like a big thing, but it's the little things that catch the eye and make one wonder.

  2. tdnf distro-sync --refresh results in

`
Refreshing metadata for: 'VMware Photon Extras 2.0(x86_64)'
Refreshing metadata for: 'VMware Photon Linux 2.0(x86_64)'
Refreshing metadata for: 'VMware Photon Linux 2.0(x86_64) Updates'
Found 1 problem(s) while resolving 414 100%

  1. package python3-yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-4.ph2.x86_64 requires libpython3.6m.so.1.0()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
    Error(1301) : Hawkey general runtime error
    `

Uhmm, ok, that's odd, specially the part about trying to install a ph2 package... Well, for a sanity check, let's do a cat /etc/os-release

NAME="VMware Photon OS" VERSION="3.0" ID=photon VERSION_ID=3.0 PRETTY_NAME="VMware Photon OS/Linux" ANSI_COLOR="1;34" HOME_URL="https://vmware.github.io/photon/" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://github.com/vmware/photon/issues"

Well, at least I'm not loosing my mind. So something's a little screwy after the upgrade, and I was able to reproduce this on another PhotonOS 2.0 appliance that I upgraded.

One last check, tdnf list ,

tdnf.x86_64 2.0.0-6.ph3

Something I'm missing on this one?
