Description Chris Snyder 2020-02-03 21:19:02 UTC 
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1741183

I am copying this bug because: 

The message "plugins loaded: ..." is still printed three times when katello-agent and subscription-manager are installed together.
As this is still an issue, but was substantially improved by the fix for 1741183, I have cloned this bug to get the count down to 1.

Please note, from a behavioural standpoint, this does not appear to be purely cosmetic. The yum commands take longer to complete the more times the plugins are loaded. I do not have further detail, that will be gathered as an aspect of this fix. Also note that we may end up moving this to katello-agent / katello-host-tools as this seems only to be an issue when both are installed.

This happens when yum performances any transactions (such as update, downgrade etc) not with every yum transaction (such as yum repolist etc).

Notice the "loaded plugin" message no longer appear. Since this is no longer an issue in the current RHEL 8 streams. 

Considering the current RHEL 7 life cycle, we wont be able to provide this update in RHEL 7 streams. 

Hence closing the bug was wont fix.
