So that it's clear, this issue hits a specific feature in RHEL8 Cockpit, which allows users to see available updates for a system. As it is, this features is effectively broken due to this, as it takes many minutes for an end user to get any information. Most users will just assume the feature is broken, or stop using it, as 'yum check-update' will return an answer many minutes faster. This is by design, enabled_metadata=0 will prevent that behavior for the .repo file. It's been this way for about 4 years, and see this link for the rationalle https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2015/01/09/finding-hidden-applications-with-gnome-software/ (In reply to Richard Hughes from comment #4) > This is by design, enabled_metadata=0 will prevent that behavior for the > .repo file.

The end-user problem is Cockpit taking 9 minutes to see if there are software updates :) Thanks, moving to subscription-manager then. Oh, I see, there is now a new bug for this: 1668947 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1668947 *** I'm sorry, but it seems that PackageKit ignores the enable_metadata option. Please see: BZ#1668947 Reassigning to PackageKit Changed headline to better reflect the issue The option is called enabled_metadata, not enable_metadata -- I've commented on thesubman bug to this affect too. sounds like not a bug, then Thanks Richard :-) > The option is called enabled_metadata, not enable_metadata -- I've commented on thesubman bug to this affect too.
I'll close this one as PK is doing exactly as it should do.
