On CentOS 7.3, Katello 3.2.2, Foreman 1.13.4, when following the official instructions there are two fail points in the upgrade code.

1. On self hosted system, the process goes looking for puppet-agent, puppetserver and java 1.8.0 via http to a service which the process has turned off.

Note that enabling the official puppet repos isn't sufficient for this process to work - one must also pass the --disablerepo= with all local repos

2. Once these three packages are installed, there is an issue with the copying of:

/var/lib/puppet/ssl to /etc/puppetlabs/puppet

and

/var/lib/puppet/foreman_cache_data to /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/

the errors are:

[ERROR 2017-02-17 13:44:48 main] mv: cannot move ‘/var/lib/puppet/ssl’ to ‘/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl’: File exists
[ERROR 2017-02-17 13:44:48 main] mv: cannot move ‘/var/lib/puppet/foreman_cache_data’ to ‘/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/foreman_cache_data’: File exists
[ERROR 2017-02-17 13:44:48 main] Upgrade step copy_data failed. Check logs for more information.

deleting the directories /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl and /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/foreman_cache_data is insufficient - it would seem that they are recreated at some other point in the process because repeated attempts will fail.

Performing these two steps manually, and commenting out lines 21 and 22 in

/usr/share/katello-installer-base/hooks/pre/31-upgrade-puppet.rb

success << Kafo::Helpers.execute('mv /var/lib/puppet/ssl /etc/puppetlabs/puppet') if File.directory?('/var/lib/puppet/ssl')
 success << Kafo::Helpers.execute('mv /var/lib/puppet/foreman_cache_data /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/') if File.directory?('/var/lib/puppet/foreman_cache_data')

makes the process complete successfully.
