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

Use cockpit to install/update software with epel-release installed.

What is the impact of this issue to you?

RHEL 10 systems that enable EPEL will not be able to use cockpit to install or update any packages, not just packages from EPEL. This will also apply to any other third party repos that choose to use the new DNF variables releasever_major and releasever_minor.

Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

cockpit-333-1.el10
dnf-4.20.0-11.el10
libdnf-0.73.1-7.el10

Expected results

Functional software updates section in cockpit.

Actual results

Failed to download gpg key for repo 'epel': Curl error (37): Could not read a file:// file for file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-$releasever_major [Couldn't open file /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-$releasever_major]
