Comment 5 Chris Snyder 2014-08-04 17:22:25 UTC

While less than ideal, subscription-manager can run inside containers (it is presently disabled). As it can be useful (especially for testing) these tools (including the cli) should not be disabled inside containers.

The solution to this will come when we create a package including only the subscription-manager yum plugin. That package can then be added to containers as necessary.
