To address this issue please refer to the below wiki article

If above article doesn’t help to resolve this issue please use https://bugs.centos.org/.

One of the configured repositories failed (Virtualmin Distribution Neutral Packages),
and yum doesn’t have enough cached data to continue.

What do I need to do to resolve this. The package manager is saying the updates exist but the repository can’t be found it looks like to me.

I solved my own problem. I clicked on Refresh Package List and the problem resolved itself. Not sure why that was necessary but it worked!

Yes, I do. I am still working on a migration strategy for this legacy system. I thought Centos 7 was going to be supported until 2025.

That is sooner than I thought. What is the general consensus for a replacement OS?
