Failed to find package '' for 9.X (9.2 and 9.5 tried)

[alexisfrjp]

Hello,

I try to build the livecd 9.X on almalinux 8 with the following command.

sudo livecd-creator --config kickstarts/9/x86_64/almalinux-live-gnome.ks \
               --fslabel AlmaLinux-9_5-x86_64-Live-GNOME \
               --title="AlmaLinux Live 9.5" \
               --product="AlmaLinux Live 9.5" \
               --cache=$PWD/pkg-cache-alma \
               --releasever=9.5

it returns an error:

the error is random and changes when I run again:

The ultimate goal is to include the kernel-ml to be supported by the new cpu Intel 285k.

Thank you.

@alexisfrjp hi. Sorry for huge delay from our side.

Seems like some repo unavailability during build.
And also you should always build image on the same version of AlmaLinux. Building 9 images on AlmaLinux 8 is not supported and may produce incorrect image.
