Hi

Had the same issue on a clients server…

It was due to some leftover, older code for Remi…
These have been replaced for PHP 7.4, PHP 8.0 with different sources.

Solution:

yum remove php56-php-gd -y
yum remove php70-php-gd -y
yum remove php71-php-gd -y
yum remove php72-php-gd -y
yum remove php73-php-gd -y
yum clean all

After this, the update will work - via web or via console.

My 2 cents

maybe from the virtual hosts from the old server manager that managed different source for php versions.

yes, these were - in some form - due to the older Server-Manager…
And maybe also from Nextcloud (Installed with Servermanager).

My 2 cents
