Bug 2058844

Description of problem:

The foreman-protector plugin does not works for Satellite 7.0 if the OS is RHEL 8 but works fine on the RHEL 7 OS.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

satellite-7.0.0-0.5.beta.el8sat.noarch
rubygem-foreman_maintain-1.0.3-1.el8sat.noarc

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 8
2. Install Satellite 7.0 on top of RHEL 8
3. Run dnf install or dnf repolist commands and observe the different in the outputs\behaviors compared to a RHEL 7 based installation.

Actual results:

On Sat 7.0 + RHEL 7, We see correct output:

# yum list tmux

But the plugin is not even recognized on RHEL 8:

Expected results:

The foreman-protector is an important plugin to ensure that accidental installation or updates are not happening on satellite and hence it needs to work with dnf+RHEL8 in the exact same way as it works with yum on RHEL 7.
