I don't know if it's connected, but I had a problem (with a similar errors) when installing 8.3.2011 over httpd using a copy of the contents of the 8.3.2011 iso

My kickstart file contained:

 url --url="http://distro/CentOS/8.3.2011";
 repo --name="AppStream" --baseurl=http://disto/CentOS/8.3.2011/AppStream

This was a copy of what I has done with 8.1.1911 - which worked OK

I couldn't get 8.3.2011 to install, until I hacked things so the kickstart contained:

 url --url="http://distro/CentOS/8.3.2011/BaseOS";
 repo --name="AppStream" --baseurl=http://disto/CentOS/8.3.2011/AppStream

but I also had to put a symlink in the BaseOS subdir of:

 images -> ../images

i.e. it worked with 8.1.1911 but not 8.3.2011 (I never tried 8.2.2004)

I don't know if this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong?
