When trying to upgrade from 2.8 to 2.9 on an Amazon Linux 2 box, I'm having the issue below. Any guidance on how to resolve this?

Hello barbutti47,

We have a separate repo just for Amazon Linux 2. Please use the installation instructions found here for Amazon Linux 2 to use that repository. The upgrade should then proceed normally. Currently you appear to be using the CentOS 7 repository.

Kind regards,
