What were you trying to do that didn't work?

The dnf/yum plugin "subscription-manager" has an option to disable repositories that are not in "/etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo":

 disable_system_repos=1

This works when using the command "yum repolist". Yum/dnf will only show the repsoitories from the "redhat.repo" file.

However, if you try to install/remove a package, yum/dnf tries to cache the repository metadata at the very end of the transaction. That is, the package installs fine without any attempt to grab metadata from the non Red Hat repository. But once the package is installed, there is a step at the end to update the cache of the repositories, and it tries to update the cache for the non Red Hat repository.

This issue is further complicated when the Red Hat client doesn't have connectivity to these custom non redhat.repo repositories (connectivity is only allowed when updates from those repositories are necessary). The Red Hat client will try to connect to each repository 4 times, timing out after 30 seconds each time.

Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

RHEL9:

rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.29.40-1.el9.x86_64

RHEL8:

rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.28.42-1.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup custom repository in the "/etc/yum.repos.d/" directory (something that isn't in "redhat.repo".
2. Make sure the "subscription-manager" plugin has "disable_system_repos=1" in it.
3. Try to install a package (or remove a package) and see that the non Red Hat repository is being checked for cached data.

Expected results

The non redhat.repo repositories should appear as disabled, and yum/dnf should not try to generate the cache for these repositories, just like when "yum repolist" is ran.

Actual results

Repositories that should be disabled via the "subscription-manager" plugin, appear not to be disabled when packages are installed/removed. Yum/dnf tries to cache the data for the repository, even though it is disabled via the "subscription-manager" command.

Details from repoducer

The "subscription-manager.conf" file:

cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf

[main]
enabled=1

# When following option is set to 1, then all repositories defined outside redhat.repo will be disabled
# every time subscription-manager plugin is triggered by dnf or yum
disable_system_repos=1

Contents in "/etc/yum.repos.d/"

ls /etc/yum.repos.d/

redhat.repo  test.repo

Contents of the "test.repo" file:

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/test.repo
