Description of problem:

katello-host-tools-tracer currently identifies an update of auditd as requiring a service restart. By design, manual restarts of auditd are not permitted, requiring a reboot in most cases.

Running resolve traces job produces the following output:

Failed to restart auditd.service: Operation refused, unit auditd.service may be requested by dependency only (it is configured to refuse manual start/stop).
See system logs and 'systemctl status auditd.service' for details.
Updating Subscription Management repositories.
This system has release set to 9 and it receives updates only for this release.
Exit status: 0

How reproducible:
Always
 

Is this issue a regression from an earlier version:
No, this is not a regression to my knowledge
 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a katello-host-tools-tracer on satellite client system

Actual behavior:
[Describe the issue in detail, including what is happening and where]

See above. Trace is not resolved.

Expected behavior:
[Describe what should be happening instead]

trace should indicate a reboot is required to resolve.
