Bug 1329349

I think this is a subscription manager problem.

Here is a white paper solution for this issue...

How are repositories enabled inside a docker container and use Red Hat subscriptions or entitlements to access repositories?

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1443553

The attached PR addresses the observation from comment 7. This should improve the user experience (though the use case still requires using yum-config-manager to enable/disable repos as a first step)...
