      This is a clone of issue OCPBUGS-35247. The following is the description of the original issue:

      Description of problem:

      DNF is now included in the 4.16 rhel-coreos images, but without the subscription-manager package (and its dependencies) it is not useful. DNF itself relies on subscription-manager and its DNF plugin to set up access to entitled RH content.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      4.16.0-rc.4

      How reproducible:

      100%

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Run rhel-coreos container image
      
      # podman run --rm -ti $(./oc adm release info 4.16.0-rc.4 --image-for=rhel-coreos)
      
      
      2. Attempt to install a RHEL package with dnf inside the container
      
      # dnf install rsyslog
      

       

      Actual results:

      bash-5.1# dnf install rsyslog
      Error: There are no enabled repositories in "/etc/yum.repos.d", "/etc/yum/repos.d", "/etc/distro.repos.d".
      

       

      Expected results:

      bash-5.1# dnf install rsyslog
      Updating Subscription Management repositories.
      Unable to read consumer identity
      subscription-manager is operating in container mode.

      Additional info:

      My understanding is that dnf relies on the subscription-manager DNF plugin to understand and configure RH repo access. Rpm-ostree can do this itself through its use of librhsm.

      Here is a run through showing dnf needs subscription-manager to configure access.

      # podman run --rm -ti $(../oc adm release info 4.16.0-rc.4 --image-for=rhel-coreos)
      
      bash-5.1# dnf install rsyslog -y
