Solution
=========
I have corrected the RPM issue on the server. One of the configuration files that cPanel needs to determine what architecture your system is running had become corrupt:
[WARN] * /var/cpanel/sysinfo.config: contains 'rpm_dist_ver=unknown'.
Corrected this by running /scripts/gensysinfo, which populates the file with this info:
[root@node03 ~]# /scripts/gensysinfo
/var/cpanel/sysinfo.config updated.
[root@node03 ~]# cat /var/cpanel/sysinfo.config
# This file is deprecated will not be available much longer, so please do not attempt to use it.
arch=x86_64
dist=centos
dist_ver=7
release=7.9
rpm_arch=x86_64
rpm_dist=centos
rpm_dist_ver=7
Upcp command will work like a charm now.
