Ok. I solved this. Reporting back in case this helps someone else who
might search and find this message.
Short answer is, I had a minimal install of CentOS8, which did not
include "tar" utility. This is required for dsu to run apparently. I
only figured this out by poking around and running the invcol_*.BIN
script in /usr/libexec/dell_dup/ and it errored and spit out it's
requirements, which included 'tar'. when i checked, tar was the only
thing missing. once i installed the tar package, dsu worked as expected.
when i removed it, i got the same error as below again.
not sure if Dell people are on this list, but i'd be happy to submit a
bug report or something so that someone can either put more verbose
error message, or add 'tar' to the package dependency for the
dell-system-update RPM package.

Any idea what is wrong here? I just did this on a R420 without any
issues. Not sure why this is not working here...
Thanks in advance,
Bond
