Description of problem: Currently it is possible to remove critical RHVH pacakges, which removes the rpm's collector rpm (redhat-release-virtualization-host-content) which leaves us with no way of recovery. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): any. How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum remove libvirt (or any dependent rpm, list can be gathered by 'rpm -qR redhat-release-virtualization-host-content) 2. confirm 3. dependent package redhat-release-virtualization-host-content is lost with no way to retrieve. package is left with only the latest available in the CDN which is not what we want in RHVH ( high rist of breaking integrity ). Actual results: packages removed. 'yum remove libvirt' Updating Subscription Management repositories.
