Hi, thanks for reporting this bug. I suspect you are running the update with the M8 Beta 2 iso and choose to not use online repos. Since I see error related to: python-2.7.18-1.1.mga7 and python3-3.8.5-1.mga8 and this is fixed by https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27857. I tend to recommend to retry with online repository enabled. Also, I could set this as dup of Bug 27857. But, I leave this open and could you try again as requested above?

I'm running this from M8-beta-classic_x86_6.iso 12/8 release (beta 2-2) I'm not sure how I could enable the online repos while running the classic installer. Regardless it is broken from how a normal user would do the install and prevent me from moving forward just using the iso. If it is a duplicate please mark it as such, it does look like the same conflict. Strange enough I was able to upgrade my laptop from beta1. My suspicion is an MGA7 update since then.
You shouldn't do upgrades using the classic ISO unless you enable online repos (it will ask if you want to). This issue has already been fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 27857 ***

That is at the end of the upgrade process not the beginning. This fails at the top of the upgrade process, I never get the option to enable on-line repositories. Further, I have a machine with nvidia ethernet connections that will not connect until I have installed and patched. So, this will be an issue.

I agree it can be an issue. But a workaround: Do not update M7 right after M8 is released if you can't connect Internet when in DrakX to do upgrade, if only you want this procedure. Best used procedure will be attempt upgrade within a user session with mgaapplet. Also, I added a screenshot of the moment when DrakX will ask you to add online repositories before asking you to really update.
