Or maybe just install this package and then remove the other one: you want: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-stream-repos-8-2.el8.noarch.rpm installed first Then remove centos-repos Or you could manually create a CentOS-Stream-BaseOS.repo (you could even name it test.repo and remove it later once switched) this will work: [baseos] name=CentOS Stream $releasever - BaseOS mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$stream&arch=$basearch&repo=BaseOS&infra=$infra #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/$contentdir/$stream/BaseOS/$basearch/os/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-centosofficial in /etc/yum.repos.d/<somename>.repo then once the distro-sync command works, remove <somaname.repo>
