I apologize as I know there are many entries regarding MariaDB updates. I just have a quick question. I am running CWPpro version: 0.9.8.1201 on AlmaLinux 8. CWP yum manager is showing only 1 update which is MariaDB. I know that I have to manually update MariaDB 10.4 to 10.11 manually. However, the error is causing the other updates to not show up. On a test box, I remarked out all lines in the /etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo, I refreshed, then all kinds of other updates showed up and I was able to successfully complete those.
Is it advisable to do this just to get other updates applied before I upgrade MariaDB? Or is there a better best/practice way of getting the needed updates completed?

******************************************************************
A MySQL or MariaDB server package (MariaDB-server-10.4.34-1.el8.x86_64) is installed.
Upgrading directly from MySQL 10.4 to MariaDB 10.11 may not
be safe in all cases. A manual dump and restore using mysqldump is
recommended. It is important to review the MariaDB manual's Upgrading
section for version-specific incompatibilities.
A manual upgrade is required.
- Ensure that you have a complete, working backup of your data and my.cnf
files
- Shut down the MySQL server cleanly
- Remove the existing MySQL packages. Usually this command will
list the packages you should remove:
rpm -qa | grep -i '^mysql-'
You may choose to use 'rpm --nodeps -ev ' to remove
the package which contains the mysqlclient shared library. The
library will be reinstalled by the MariaDB-shared package.
- Install the new MariaDB packages supplied by MariaDB Foundation
- Ensure that the MariaDB server is started
- Run the 'mysql_upgrade' program
This is a brief description of the upgrade process. Important details
can be found in the MariaDB manual, in the Upgrading section.

Your MariaDB version is EOL and needs to be manually updated.

I understand that. I wondering about getting the other updates applied before I start upgrading all of my servers.

Change your mariadb.repo back to 10.4.
Just changing it to 10.11 won't work anyways using dnf.
Or do the manual update like @overseer posted, then run the rest of the AL8 updates.
